Carrying any knife without lawful purpose is an offence. Read the words carefully (as with all laws)...it does not say "carrying a knife FOR AN UNLAWFUL PURPOSE" but the opposite...this has the effect of placing the onus on the carrier to prove that the 2 steak knives were being carried for a SPECIFIC and LAWFUL reason. Unless one is on the way to a dinner where cutlery is not supplied, that lawful purpose is going to be hard to prove.



In this day and age, the cops are going to take no chances. Steak knife, pocket knife, box cutter...no lawful purpose and you're knicked.



And also in the modern age, checking the glove box and boot of detained vehicles is SOP.



Even for traffic stops.

Quote from: "Bricktop"Dude, that is definitely an offence, and my advice would be to remove them asap.



Having a prior for "Carrying an offensive weapon" in this day and age is a curse you will carry for life.



Trust me on this, you would not be the first to be pinched for carrying such implements in your glove box.

For a steak knife or two in the glove box.

My husband got stabbed with a screwdriver carried by a 16 yr old aborigine...





Screwdriver in the glove box will do just as good a job.

Same law applies.



Screwdrivers carried in a car are a little harder to categorise as a weapon though.

So, going camping, a knife is fine?

Oven cleaner... straight in the face is a nice quick weapon.



We have cans stashed around the house waiting to squirt abos coming through the side doors.

Quote from: "Bricktop"Are you making a point, or displaying your idiocy. Again.


I was referencing your blanket statement. The one which attempted to paint your view as gospel and your rendition of the facts as the only set. Again.
Blahhhhhh...

Then, instead of pulling funny faces, as is your way, please enlighten us all with YOUR version of the truth.

You can buy bear spray here over the counter, no questions asked. It's been used in convenience store robberies.
