I reckon my skin might be a little fair to be away with this one...

I know a Norwegian who makes ice sculptures--- I wonder if he could get away with pulling his chainsaw during an argument...

I reckon I've worn a dozen machetes out over the years, still got a pair hanging by the door, another 3 or 4 next door at the kids house. My grandson has had his own since he was 6 or 7. They are a tool, just like a hammer or a wrench, or a Colt SAA, for that matter.
Lord, save us, from the urban idiots!

Magistrate Tanya Fong Lim today dismissed the charge against Gulpilil, saying he used the machete for cultural reasons.

Indeed! Ideally, we should all be allowed our cultural tools, shouldn't we, Magistrate Lim. I've a small arsenal to choose from....

Any tool becomes a weapon when it is used as a force multiplier against another person. Until that time, it is just a tool.

It takes conscious intent to use a tool as a weapon. I wish these legal beagles could get that simple distinction straight.
