Dumb Laws..
Washington Crimes and Punishments
RCW 9.41.250 Dangerous weapons -- Penalty.
Every person who:
(1) Manufactures, sells, or disposes of or possesses any instrument or weapon of the kind usually known as slung shot, sand club, or metal knuckles, or spring blade knife, or any knife the blade of which is automatically released by a spring mechanism or other mechanical device, or any knife having a blade which opens, or falls, or is ejected into position by the force of gravity, or by an outward, downward, or centrifugal thrust or movement;
(2) Furtively carries with intent to conceal any dagger, dirk, pistol, or other dangerous weapon;
(3) Uses any contrivance or device for suppressing the noise of any firearm;
is guilty of a gross misdemeanor punishable under chapter 9A.20 RCW.
Effective date -- 1994
Ok.. So based on this, any knife that opens by "..falls, or is ejected into position by the force of gravity, or by an outward, downward, or centrifugal thrust or movement.."
The knife EVERYBODY carries is illegal if it has a thumb stud. The thumb stud and a flick of the wrist opens the knife. That flick of the wrist is producing a centrifugal force by which the blade is opened. That makes it illegal.
Think I'm kidding? Here's the website for the Washington State Legislature..
Good grief..
This law is was only passed as "Feel Good" legislation. It does absolutely nothing to stop crime, protect the innocent, or lower taxes, which are the 3 things laws should be designed to do. How about they re-word that legislation to read..
"Dumb fuck.. If you commit a crime with a instrument or weapon of the kind usually known as slung shot, sand club, or metal knuckles, or spring blade knife, or any knife the blade of which is automatically released by a spring mechanism or other mechanical device, or any knife having a blade which opens, or falls, or is ejected into position by the force of gravity, or by an outward, downward, or centrifugal thrust or movement;
(2) Furtively carry with intent to conceal any dagger, dirk, pistol, or other dangerous weapon without a license; or
(3) Uses any contrivance or device for suppressing the noise of any firearm
You will receive an additional 10 years on your prison sentence. Further, if a death should occur during the commission of this crime with the above stated weapons, we will ship your ass to Texas for your immediate execution."
THAT law makes more sense! People MIGHT actually think twice before committing a crime. Granted, there will be a few who will HAVE to be shipped off. However, very quickly, the criminals will go back to axes, baseball bats, kitchen knives and good ole fashion crowbars.

Democrat Mistakes..
I am NOT the only person who thinks this is funny..
But remember, if Bush had said this, he'd have been impeached as a RACIST!
You know you laughed!

School is in Session..
Greek: Μολὼν Λαβέ or Molon Labe, means "Come and take them!"
Molon Labe!
From the ancient Greek, they are the reply of the Spartan General-King Leonidas to Xerxes, the Persian Emperor who came with 600,000 of the fiercest fighting troops in the world to conquer and invade little Greece, then the center and birthplace of civilization as we know it. When Xerxes offered to spare the lives of Leonidas, his 300 personal bodyguards and a handful of Thebans and others who volunteered to defend their country, if they would lay down their arms, Leonidas shouted these two words back. Molon Labe! (mo-lone lah-veh)
They mean, “Come and get them!”
They live on today as the most notable quote in military history. And so began the classic example of courage and valor in its dismissal of overwhelming superiority of numbers, wherein the heart and spirit of brave men overcame insuperable odds. Today, there lies a plaque dedicated to these heroes all at the site. It reads: “Go tell the Spartans, travelers passing by, that here, obedient to their laws we lie.”
