[quote=squat300]No you wouldn’t. You would follow the constitution, search only when reasonable and put people in prison for long periods of time for gun possession in public. There would be a very strong incentive not to carry a gun. Or to shoot it out with the police to avoid the long sentence. If the penalty is 25 years in prison for gun possession, that’s a strong incentive to just carry a knife.[/quote]Not supported by facts already in evidence. Already:
Felon with gun on probation – probation ends, serve rest of term + additional charges of felon possessing firearm.
Felon with gun but past probation – charged with possessing firearm (12021 PC).
Shooting it out with police is because they don’t want to go to jail. It is already and automatic – go to jail. They are hoping to get away.
You also have no idea about what knife wounds are like… and no clue.. PS: the max blade length is about 3 inches.. longer is illegal.
