[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4219958, member: 5412"] I mentioned the "offensive weapon" when the son was arrested as justification of the arrest by the deputy. [HEADING=1]Restrictions on Carry[/HEADING] [LIST] [*]It is illegal to conceal or open carry any “offensive weapon”. It is notable that “offensive weapons” can include items such as machetes or tomahawks though they are not specified. Discretion is called for in such instances since the law is a bit vague on the full definition of “offensive weapons”. [/LIST] As The No Carry Law States It is illegal to carry a weapon, “upon or about” the person, Oklahoma’s no carry law extends to items carried in a vehicle, not just on a person. [HEADING=1]Definition of Offensive Weapon[/HEADING] In Beeler v. State, the Court said that some weapons are so dangerous and deadly, that the Court may declare them to be offensive weapons as a matter of law. It also stated, that when making this determination, trial Judges should consider whether the weapon was designed for combat and capable of producing death. [HEADING=1]What the Law States (20 years ago)[/HEADING] This offense happened over 20 years ago. Long before current statutes. The d+ckhead deputy took the letter of the law way too far. My memory of blade length may be off, or a local thing, but I'll do some more research. None the less, the son was arrested and jailed without justification. [/QUOTE]
