Just because you carry one as a weapon does not make pocket knives weapons. People use beer bottles as weapons. I used to carry a tire knocker under my winter coat for self-defense, but that doesn't mean tire knockers are weapons. If something was designed as a weapon or being used as a weapon, then it is a weapon. But that doesn't make the tire knocker the trucker keeps with him, or the pocket knife I carry around weapons. All it means is that your pocket knife and my tire knocker are weapons.
Why should I be told I can't carry an extremely useful tool with me because some bloke somewhere likes to carry one as a weapon? (a pocket knife is really a pretty crappy weapon anyway, and I would seriously advice against it for self-defense. A pocket knife makes a fight deadly, but unlike a gun it is no decisive and may much more easily be used against you. Legally and practically speaking a pocket knife is a horrid weapon for self-defense.)
Heaven knows, really men just let their lips dry out till they crack and bleed! lol Nearly everyone I know carries chapstick. When you like in a place as cold as Wisconsin and your heat is constantly dehydrating you in your car or house, it is hard to get by without some kind of lip balm.
There are so many things wrong with that argument...where to start...
Tell you what Husar, the incarceration rate of babies and the infirm is almost nothing. Should we all have our limbs remove to prevent crime? lol
