Ka Bar can't ship Big Brother to CA: Can I get more info on this?

[BluesStringer]

This forum is way cool, EVERYBODY is helpful and friendly.

BluesStringer, I often fantasize about about buying a few acres somewhere nice and peaceful.... One day I want to hike at least a part of the Appalachian Trail and check out your neck of the woods. I agree w/ you about voting w/ your feet/wallet!

Brother Junglas, I used to fantasize about such things too. Now I plan. I used to fantasize about being able to take care of myself if the SHTF. After weeks spent in relief efforts in the aftermath of Katrina, and the 'nado swarm of 4/27/11, I now know that I am prepared to face such troubles.

I came to a realization a long time ago. The only freedom a man has is that which he takes for himself. No one is giving freedom away. There are no merchants of freedom, you can't buy it. There are no imaginary lines on a map that will provide you freedom on one side, and enslave you on the other. Only a slave fantasizes about freedom. A free man takes it. At any cost.

Freedom is like a muscle; it atrophies in the lack of use. Use it or lose it Bro. Exercise both your muscles and your freedom and walk away. Starve the beast, for surely you know that the beast feeds at the trough of your acquiescence to its authority.

Don't fantasize about being free, Bro, just BE free. Anything you can imagine as a manifestation of freedom, you can have. And a few acres to live your days on as you please is not something that requires much imagination to acquire. It just requires a plan, preparation to implement that plan and the will to see it through.

Forgive my posting on such an old thread. Please check CA penal code 12020, specifically the section(s) on dirks/daggers: A double-edged fixed blade like the Big Brother is only illegal to carry *concealed* in CA. Therefore, I've carried the Big Brother in the open, on my belt, without any problems. I've also carried Renaissance-style daggers (to Ren Faires and such), right in front of police, with no problems. One cop asked me where I was going with a sword and dagger, but since I was also dressed in "garb" and the Ren Faire was only a mile away, the answer seemed pretty obvious to me.

I live in Nor-Cal and own four Big Brothers, two Kraton, two leather. I got them through a dealer-friend with good out-of-state connections. Guess it really is about whom you know ...
