nicknamenick,

I don't know how offenders carrying butchers knives in public is relevant in any way to my earlier post and the issues being discussed.

You clipped the quote and omitted the link to serve your own purpose. Here is more,

<"Ipswich Police Inspector Keith MacDonald said if you carried a knife in public, you could expect someone would alert police about it.

"If people see someone with a knife in public, their presumption is usually that the person has - or is about to - undertake illegal activity," he said.

"It's similar to if a person carried a firearm around in the community.

"There is rarely ever a good reason for someone to be in possession of a knife in public.">

and the final bit about the sentence? hmmmm?

Sic 'em nick,

Definitely a bother you'd say. Now the cow cockie can't leave the offending item in his car* either. Cripes, if the Old Timer is in the pouch it is 'as dangerous as a loaded gun' (Ippy Inspector says so). That is why it has to locked up in a safe in the back of the Landcruiser.

car* - defined as a 'public place' by the Qld Govt.

Remembering that where Qld Labor Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and her Attorney-General Yvette D'Ath are concerned, those patched-up Outlaw Bikies are just misunderstood boys who should never be inconvenienced by the police. That is why the successful Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment Act 2013 (VLAD) that was enacted to "severely punish members of criminal organisations that commit serious offenses" has to be trashed by Annastacia and Yvette.

The Bad,

and the good according to Labor,

The priorities of Queensland Labor.

Now, back to the OP.

The OP? A person may use a knife to prepare or cut food at a restaurant in a public place or when having a picnic in a park; or
A person may carry a pen knife or swiss army knife for use for its normal utility purpose in Queensland. The flashing high-beam nearly-lethal torch needs to be taped to the picnic knife or machete blackberry cutter or preferably the fire extinguisher food additive dispenser. simples. Bikies with high beam halogens are cool if they have a corned-beef sword strapped to the high pressure foam hose.

OTB,

I do think that the torch can fairly be described as a non-lethal weapon
my gripe is that OLO has a misleading add going that could get some people into trouble, possession of the high intensity flash torch is not necessarily an admission of intent however as an alternative function is as a warning light particularly if there has been an accident on the road etc.

Cossomby,

I haven't been looking at adds for Tactical Torches I do look frequently at adds for firearms, particularly pistols as I'm getting back into competitive pistol shooting; there have been no adds for pistols,
Rcently ther have been adds for "Gay Cruises", I wonder how that started?

Good evening to you NICKNAMENICK...

I quite often have no idea what it is you're trying to say or trying not to say. It would seem that everything you wish to say is shrouded in some form of obfuscation even allegory, all of which is calculated to confuse, confound and thoroughly mislead the reader to a point I can only wonder why ? Is it your intention to be deliberately misunderstood or some other equally mystifying reason ?
