police officers, peace officers, or law enforcement officers authorized by the properly constituted authorities for the enforcement of law or ordinances; nor shall this section prohibit the use or
possession of such sniperscope when used solely for scientific research or educational purposes.
 
'"undetectable knife" means any knife or other instrument with or without a handguard'

Don't forget butter knifes and metal shoe horns. Nice silverware settings? SORRY! Turn them into the state for a redemption factor of 0.10 to the dollar.
 
As long as your Onieda butter knife is detectable by a metal detector set at standard calibration you are OK

Getting caught with a plastic ruler may be problematic in certain senarios.

Getting caught loaning a Red Rider to the boyscout next door is an actual issue.

A pencil, or pen could be covered by this.. It is a stabbing instrument without a handguard that can cause great bodily harm, and even death, that is "undetectable" by a metal detector set to the standard calibration.


Oh god, now everyone will be a felon in Cali!


As far as "commercially manufactured to be used as a weapon", when has something ever been marketed as a weapon, other than to the military???? I dont think there has been 1 item marketed as a weapon to the general public.
 
California is completely out of control! I'm sorry, I've been to California a number of times, north to south, and it's a great state (wildlife, landscape, Napa Valley, kool beaches, etc.). However, between the mind-blowing cost of living and excruciating levels of state and local government repression/regulation, I cannot imagine any circumstance where I would ever want to live there (or in a number of the other states hammered on the site...Mass,etc.)
 
It won't change as long as you "roll over." Maybe you would lose in court, but you should try. Until then I have only limited sympathy. Jerry
