So... whats your point?

 

[pacodelahoya]

Cool weapons, I wouldn't mind having the belt buckle knife, really not gun or other rights related though.

 

[galileo415]

my point is that i am wondering is there a gray area where you can sell but just not carry in ca, because that store sells those for the last couple decades

 

[Crunker1337]

Man if I'm ever in San Fransisco I may have to check that store out.

 

[pacodelahoya]

Well, possibly you can posess, and not carry, much like owning guns in NJ or other communist controlled states.

We have a member on www.calguns.net getting felony charges for a Shuriken, Sap Gloves and misc bull****.

Not to mention the SIX 1919 A4 assault weapon charges that were dropped. He still faces felony charges for a LEGAL AK and two LEGAL ARs.

If you guys want to read up on the case there's a bunch of threads about it. It's The BWO case / Matthew Corwin. He was arrested because he had pictures of himself with his weapons on his myspace, someone informed the police at his college after the VT shootings and they got a search warrent due to the pictures/videos on his page alone and arrested him.

The video was of him bump firing an off list AK without a pistol grip.

Why would anyone really care besides politicians?

 

[lawdogso]

Legal if used in Martial Arts training or exhibition.

As a rule of thumb, there's lots of illegal stuff going down in Chinatowns all over North America. Want bootleg VCDs (I guess DVDs now), head to Chinatown. Want to eat snake, head to chinatown. Want martial arts weapons, head to Chinatown. When I was living in Toronto students made hajs every now and then to pick up DVDs at the Asian Mall. I think there was a bust at the mall ONCE, but it was because the store selling bootleg DVDs was a front (!!!) for other illicit activity. Much like copyright laws, I'm sure the store's owners don't care about weapons laws.

not to mention illegal animal body parts, i just say an episode on courttv anatomy of crime, animal poaching and it showed a hidden video of sf chinatown store selling some illegal bear part

 

[Jim March]

The only things not legal for ownership are ceramic knives or anything else that can go through metal detectors (Mad Dog Frequent Flyer and the like), sword canes and....lemme think...I *think* that's it. Even switchblades are legal in the home. The vast majority of California knife/club laws concern street carry.

That's a three-section staff in the first picture, not nunchaku.

 

[Prince Yamato]

I think the original poster is just angry because the shop owner wouldn't sell him a Mogwai.

LMAO!!

 

[pacodelahoya]

I googled mogwai and all I got was references to a rock band. Can I get in on the joke too?

 

[Heavy Metal Hero]

I think a mogwai = Gizmo.

 

[Carl N. Brown]

Gremlins! Don't feed your Mogwai after midnight!
No baths either!

Every once in while, I drag out my VHS of "Big Trouble in
Little China"--love that flick (although it probably has all
its Chinatown lore bassackwards).

Oh, on thread: there is a lot of items that are legal to
buy and own; it is carry an use in public that is felony.

It's a reference to the movie Gremlins.
