Clarksville HS Student Suspended and Charged for Father's Knife in Father's Car

[peejman]

This is a bad law that needs to be changed then.  No one should not have to worry about a weapons charge over carrying a case knife or swiss army knife at a school, especially adults.  Can the legislature not change this law as the legislature is changing the switchblade law?  Has anyone asked state reps and state senators to get this joke changed? 

 

This article though backs up to me that just possessing a knife is not 'intent to go armed'.  To me, it would be like having a baseball bat in the vehicle with a glove to obviously play baseball is not intent to go armed, but having a baseball bat with the purpose of self defense is intent to go armed.

 

Even though the rules may be different for colleges VS high schools, the state knife laws for schools are obviously the same.

Don't like the law?  Tell them to change it.  If they won't change it, vote in someone who will.
