You f***y, I live in Whalley, grab a sustained-opening knife and a box of dog spray. We have coyotes that walk around at night, sometimes in packs. It is not an unreasonable excuse to have them. And I`m not even going to get into all the pit bulls. Like you, I am working to emigrate to the United States, Canada is sucking bullets now, not the Canada where I was born and raised. I agree with all the statements! Good idea on the belt chain. I carry a knife in my cowboy boot (I joke when the cops watch) Tighe also runs Brian Tighe and Friends, a knife company based in Erie, 😀 Pennsylvania. Any concealed, knife-free blade less than 30 centimetres long is a prohibited weapon under the Criminal Code of Canada. But now he says ballistic knives are still illegal, as is „star-throwing.” They have only been legal in Indiana for about 5 years. It makes no sense that people are still being stabbed lmao I want to keep one just for collection and in the house, but I can`t get one. These laws are so stupid that I can buy a folding knife and open it with one hand. If someone wants to stab someone else, it will happen whether the knife is illegal or not.
It seems unfair that they want to punish ordinary citizens „Under the penal code, a person found with a [credit card knife] on them can be prosecuted for possession of an illegal weapon. Clear mud? It appears that the law leaves much room for interpretation of the application of the law. Overall, it is much more restrictive than other countries, namely the United States and even Australia. Transporting knives – even multi-tool – could cause problems. And it`s certainly not advisable to bring folding knives (or other weapons) into the country if there are questions about their legality, especially if you don`t want to lose it at the border. However, it is also illegal to hide a knife and intentionally injure it. This includes self-defense! See below for details. Prohibited knives: Any knife with a blade that opens automatically by gravity, centrifugal force or hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device in or on the handle of the knife (butterfly knives, switch blades, etc.) is a prohibited item and is considered an illegal item under the Canadian Criminal Code. Winter Jayy Hawthorne – I totally agree! I don`t care what the Canadian government says! This is not Nazi Germany or communist North Korea. I still have C.C. A knife, no matter what! It should be the same for you and all Canadians. Ostroff agreed.
„Getting a firearms business licence in Canada is almost impossible and no knife business will be able to do it,” he said. The CBSA has also updated its list of prohibited weapons, which includes, but is not limited to, gravity, centrifugal and automatic knives. And Memorandum D19-13-2 sets out guidelines for the import and export of weapons. The combination of the two makes it (a little) clearer what is illegal to carry: at the end of the day, use common sense when carrying a knife and remember the rule of appropriate force. If they have a gun, use a gun. Otherwise, leave your knife alone unless there is no other alternative, and the threat to your life is perceived as real. It is such a BS. A knife is a knife: just because it can open, as a villain does in the movies, it is no more dangerous than an unaided knife. Yes, I agree, but again, I gave my daughter a pocket knife when she was six. I showed him how to use it and when. I also told her that if she was caught, she would lose her protection. Do not shoot it for any reason other than life, death or rape.
She is now 24 years old and has never been caught with the same knife. Twice she got into an argument where the other person had a gun, as soon as she brandished hers, the two quickly found each other. I`m not saying everyone should carry a gun, but the police only come in after the fact. Now is the time to investigate and punish instead of protecting and serving. A criminal will simply wait until the police are not there to commit a crime. So you have to decide, should I rely on the fictitious protection of our policy? Or protect myself and face the consequences? I chose the latter, but every man for himself. Just so you know, when I was in Beavers lol, we learned how to use a pocket knife, I was six years old. I`ve been wearing one ever since. Simply possessing a legal knife is not a crime in Canada.
However, a prosecutor can argue in court that a small pocket knife was carried for a „purpose dangerous to the peace” or to commit a crime. In this case, even owning a small pocket knife can become a problem. The argument of possession of a knife in self-defence has not yet become customary law and cannot be considered a general defence. For example, you are in a bar, a fight breaks out, you get involved in some way and the police show up and notice a knife on you, they will have questions and cause you grief. Holders of a certain type of firearms operating licence (FBL) are exempt from the new regulations. Theoretically, a knife manufacturer or knife company could obtain such a license. However, this is not the case for those who have tried. I ordered a folding knife with a 3-inch blade and received a message from the CBSA informing me that they had confiscated this item. I collect beautiful or unusual knives and I can`t believe they confiscated this item, even though other Canadians have posted that they love the knife they received from the same seller. I can`t get a knife with a 3-inch blade, but every black man in Toronto seems to have a gun! I think I was born from the wrong color. Do I discriminate against young black men, the answer is yes!!! Butterfly knives, knife knives and other knives whose blades open automatically due to gravity are illegal items under the Criminal Code of Canada. According to the directive, authorities receive alerts if an illegal knife is present at a checkpoint prior to on-board inspection.
This can result in charges and prosecution against the property owner. „Thus, each examiner will be legally allowed to turn any legal knife into a prohibited weapon.” This legislation is a matter of intent. That is, if you get caught with a knife hidden on you, while in one place you do not need a knife as a tool, you may have a bad time. As a general rule, wearing a firm blade on the hip on the way to work is not considered a criminal offence (except for local provincial laws, municipal ordinances), provided that its length and design are not considered or interpreted as intimidating (for example, a „Rambo” knife). However, carrying the same knife in the same way when going to the cinema or pub or simply outside could be considered unjustifiable and interpreted negatively by local authorities, which may result in seizure and/or charges. I totally agree, I`m tired of these laws trying to control and manipulate you to conform to their ways. Before, it was perfectly okay to carry a knife full of tang on the side. Sometimes I still do, I have a Kephart that I wear all the time.
The man fucks this country. I can`t protect myself??? What about my girlfriend who is supposed to let someone rape her??? Idgaf what the law says, I always wear a damn switch blade and I`m working to get a giant bear club box. I live in Newton Surrey, come here after sunset and tell me you feel safe. I`m moving to the United States and I`d rather have Trump as the leader of my country than be completely defenseless in my own country. Who the hell agrees with me? Knife Rights and the American Knife & Tool Institute (AKTI), the two main advocacy groups for Messer in the US, told BLADE they were exploring options. Sheathed knives, knives that open both hands and any fixed-blade knife are legal in Canada. Knives do not become a matter of law in Canada until they have been used to threaten, injure or kill someone. Due to Canada`s strict gun ownership laws, knives killed more people than guns in Canada between 2000 and 2004. It`s not just the knife world in the United States that is turning to these organizations. Anything but the above.
There is no limit to the length. BUT, and this is a big but, the knife you carry can only be used as a tool (also known as a utility knife, hunting knife WHILE HUNTING, etc.). As mentioned above, they do not hide harm or intend to cause harm; This includes self-defense! Section 84 of the Canadian Criminal Code prohibits the sale and possession of knives that „open automatically by gravity or centrifugal force or by manual pressure applied to a button, spring or other device in or on the handle of the knife.” This part of the law has evolved into a test in which police attempt to remove the blade of a knife from the handle with one hand.
