If you are charged with “wearing a dangerous weapon”, what are you wearing?

sounds like it depends on the state.

it could be brass knuckles in WI

I would say it’s a pretty open charge. If an individual was just wearing it and hadn’t used it, I wouldn’t even consider that a real charge.

Well they say the animal that kills the most humans is the very small mosquito and the animal that kills the second most humans is man. A wicked mind or heart is probably the worst weapon but since we are not a society that accepts responsibility then its what ever we say it is to throw the blame away from self.

not in WI in 2016 all knives moved to tool status unless used otherwise

I have an automatic my son bought me.

IA may have also changed it
there was a big multi state push in 2016

accept that a lot of laws are written very poorly and many are unconstitutional but also unchallenged since they are generally a fine for less than 10 hours of lawyer time.

The human brain is the most dangerous weapon. It has killed millions of its fellow humans.

That would be a bowie knife in Alabama. Carry whatever knife you want but "bowie knives" are specifically prohibited by name.

here is how many places that have anti Bowie knife laws state it
Bowie knife is a large knife with a cross guard and a blade with a clipped point.

if what your carrying fits that or could potentially fit that don't carry it in some states in public.
