CALLING FOR LEGISLATIVE CLARIFICATION OF FL. STATUTE 790,001 (13)


The following petition calls for legislative clarification of Florida statute 790,001 (13) seeking a definitive statement as to the legislative definition of "common pocketknife " and it's intended meaning from it's legislative creation in 1901 to date. Legislative action is clearly necessary to : (a) comprehensively inform the citizen's of Florida as to what constitutes prohibited conduct and (b) as is evidenced by the complete state of confusion the judicial branch of government has made in it's unguided interpretation of the term "common pocketknife " legislative clarification is necessary for the proper administration of criminal justice.

I have spent a few days going over knive laws in Florida. Since the inception of the new "Stand your ground" law came into effect there has been all kinds of interpetations by the public. I would agree that the laws pertaining to knife carry is broad and unclear. You have to wonder if this is not the intent of lawmakers. As I read the law today it would be legal for any good citizen of the state of Florida who's rights have not beeen removed in any fasion to carry upon his person a concealed switchblade without any regard to blade length. I may be incorrect in this determination but I cannot find anything if FL law to the contrary? Any comments would be appreciated.
