"A knife is illegal only if it is carried with the intent to assault or harm another person."
This disturbs me as well. How does one determine "intent"? Is carrying it in a pocket with a clip intent to harm? ...in the hand? ...more than one?
Minority Report, anyone?
Other than automatics and balisongs, all of our knife laws are just that vague. If it's a weapon, it's illegal, if it's a tool, you're good to go. It's all left up to the police/courts discretion.
