Religious Weapons-the Sikhs and the Kirpan

Post by catfish86 »

Interesting to note the carrying of this in school is legal in Ohio. It is essentially a Bowie Knife sized dagger.
God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can
and the Wisdom to know the difference.

Carrying a gun is a right, not a crime.

Gun control is racist.

Good luck with that,.... you would not be in a school for 2 minutes before someone calls the fuzz.

Many Sikhs I've know have carried a small, ceremonial knife rather than the Gurkha.
