the kinda stuff that happens when the general population is unarmed? Klingon Bat’leth Used In Two Colorado Springs Robberies Klingon sword used in two Colorado Springs heists – The Denver Post Klingon Bat'leth Used In Two Colorado Springs Robberies
As opposed to holdup perps using guns where more firearms are owned by the general population? I think i would prefer to take my chances against an edged weapon than a gun thank you....with my infantry pattern officer'ssword of course.
Yep ,, I would prefer the perp to show up with a Klingon Sword as well ,,, I wouldn't feel I had to be as quick on the draw with my S&W 45 cal. Phazer ,,,,
Anyone can own swords and even big knives in Australian jurisdictions which regulate bang-bang, and non bang-bang weaponry. There are certain regulatory restrictions on having them on one's person in public, or in schools(private or public), as well as a number of exemptions from those restrictions. That is perhaps a nuance lost to some folks, both in, and outside of Australia. The carriage of certain kinds of 'weapons' is generally a State matter, except on Commonwealth property where the AFP and Commonwealth law has jurisdiction. In N.S.W. the relevant section of the Summary Offences Act 1988, regulations concerning the carriage of swords, knives and other sharp edged items are elaborated upon: SUMMARY OFFENCES ACT 1988 - SECT 11C Custody of knife in public place or school I have had a knife pulled on me when I asked a puny runt to tone down his harassment of other library patrons at my local municipal library. I told him to f*ck off...unless he wanted a conversation with the police... I pointed to the security cam scanning the front foyer area. I reported the incident to the library staff, and he has not, to my knowledge ever returned.
It's a Pattern 1897 sword, made by Wilkinsons. My father gave it to me when I was promoted to the rank of Captain, and I wore it to his investiture at Government House (Sydney) to the Medal of the Order of Australia as well as other military ceremonial parades.
It explains that I exercised for some time until retirement, miltary command and leadership responsibilities. I rose through the ranks as an enlisted man, so I have the benefit of viewing service and civilian life through both perspectives.
Thank you, SB. My service experience has informed much of my interest and commitment in prepping and survivalism.
There seems to be a larger percentage of the military/veterans that preps than compared to the percentage of civilians that prep. At least here in the US.
