My first thought was to wonder if my 18 1/2" would automatically make me a three-time loser and subject to lifetime imprisonment. My second thought was whether there would be corresponding laws requiring the weapon to be "sheathed" in one locale and "in plain sight" in another locale.
Another example of how the law contradicts itself in many places, all those who carry a weapon over 6" are felons, yet you could be arrested for indecent exposure if you didn`t "carry concealed". And couldn`t taking a leak in a public place be classed as unauthorised discharge?
