Thread: How many people CCW here?

I never understood that about the US. Here in Belgium, offensive weapons are illegal to carry.
Guns are illegal, so by extension the knife ban (not banned to have them or use them, but carrying them for use as a weapon) is logical.

In the US, handguns are legal to CCW (subject to the regulations etc) but knives aren't, even though guns are much more dangerous to bystanders and the public at large. Knives can be more dangerous in close combat, buy you don't hear of knife-killing sprees, and in a confrontation, there is virtually no risk to bystanders either. And accidents are much less likely as well.

It doesn't really make sense imo.
Carrying a fixed blade openly (for use as a weapon) is silly imo because anyone close to you can draw it before you do.
