    PL:

    I was wondering about laws, both federal and state concerning the possession of automatic, push button and butterfly knives. I have a book printed in the late 80's that gives a rundown on federal laws but I think it may be dated by now.

    As a Bounty Hunter, I think a switchblade would be the perfect tool for self-defense and performing any other task that needs to be done in a hurry.

    Here is a link that lays out the state by state laws on knives.

    What a pisser! A guy can carry a concealed weapon in Indiana but not a switchblade. That just doesn't make sense.

    Thanks PL.

    How about an expandable baton, blackjack, tazer, stungun or lead lined gloves? Will they allow you to carry these things? Or is our only defense our good looks and smooth talking?

    I believe most of those are all covered under concealed weapons laws for your state that can be found at your county sheriffs office.

    Oh, I don't need those. I married a nice sweet young lady who came packaged with all of those "options".

    Well.....How do you like that? I came packaged with those "options" too! In fact, I had to use one of my "options" last weekend, on a fellow whose wheel of fortune, ran out.

    Now this makes me feel real sad. Every good man deserves to have some happiness. I guess we know there are at least two lucky men in this world.

    I've got the strong impression that your still waiting your turn J. S. Walters! I don't want to start any trouble but.... if you don't have a "significant other", and your current search remains unsuccessful, don't fret... maybe David has some good connections.

    Christine:

    Thanks so much for your thoughts. While my wife didn't come equipped with what I call the adventuresome package, she did come with the California package which I consider very fine indeed.

    I have a nice picture of the 2 of us that I was gonna post in my testing page but I didn't know if that would be a good trend to start.

    J. S. Walters, I guess that you won't need David's connections.

    I didn't mean to offend you in any way. I was under the impression by your comment of how lucky David Copeland was, that you did not have a significant other and you were the sad soul on the lonely bench.

    I would say that you are a lucky man yourself, if you are happily married. That is awfully hard to come by these days for most couples. (Divorce rate is awfully high).

    I would like to see your pictures, but your right, it would start a domino effect. If you plan to attend the convention, I would like to meet you. Possibly you would consider sharing your pictures with me at that time? Sound like a deal?

    The After Hours Lounge would be a better area for introducing your wife.

    And for those who wish to save their pictures for the convention, that's good too. But the forum software in the After Hours Lounge can accomodate pictures. Remember too, if you decide to change out a picture or edit a topic or reply that you posted, you're free to do that at anytime.

    It appears we have strayed off topic regarding concealed weapon permits.

    Christine, Don't worry, I'm not a delicate flower. You are such a sweet lady and I think you could'nt offend anyone even if you tried. I wish I could be more like that. I used to be a chronic offender but in recent years I have learned to keep my big mouth shut when it is prudent to do so. But as you can sometimes tell, I still tend to shoot before checking my field of fire.

    When I first read that I couldn't stop laughing. I thought about it a few times at work today and each time I did, I had to chuckle. Thanks! Mind if I borrow it on occasion?

    WoW! Imagine that someone out there is thinking of something I said. Feel free to quote me anytime. If I gave you a chucke, pass the chuckle on. It makes the world go round.

    We better get back to the topic here or Allen might want to give me a gentle earful.
