...walking home from a friend's house, (actually, from the store on the way back from friends house, having bought another beer.)
I was *ahem* a wee bit in the cups, if you get my meaning...so it was no surprise that a Sherrif rolled up on me...
After asking the usual questions, he asked if he could search me. I gave my permission, and he asked if I had any weapons or drugs. I told him I had my folding pocket knife (About 4-4.5 inches, or so,) and he asked which pocket I had it in, and I told him.
After examining it and the other crap in my pockets, he informed me that he *COULD* haul my ??? in for being publicly intoxicated, but was gonna let me slide (Where's the 'Phew!' smiley?
)
Needless to say, there's not a lot to worry about as far as carrying a knife....
Just don't do it while buzzed. (From now on, I call a cab/get a ride from someone sober. )
