AAAARGH...! not cool at all!! Well I'm really sorry for you Olivier, isn't it something to do, like teaming up with a political party close to hunting and fishing association to get this law some modifications so carrying a knife could become legal with a little paperwork?
All those laws about forbidding guns and knives control are mostly demagoegic ones, the only way it can make sense, is when such laws are applied with a large degree of interpretation to let the police officer a latitude of responsability when it comes to seize a knife in the hands of someone having a threatening attitude. And maybe should everyone's task be to make understand to our politicians, that any law should have such kind of "true intelligence inside" (foremost in its appliance). If they don't understand what is intelligence... :grumpy: then as an old saying says: if you're not strong, be clever (... and run discrete!)
Note special Olivier:
Si la dictature c'est toujours: "ferme la!", la democratie c'est souvent: "cause toujours"
To get this translated: If in a dictatorship, it's always "shut up", in a democracy it's often "argue forever"
