The first part, the darkened part is the topic while all the lightened text is the details when reading law, otherwise it is taken out of context .
And your point? I'm WELL versed in reading legal code and laws... Here is the 'darkened' part you refer to that I quoted from...
NRS 202.350 Manufacture, importation, possession or use of dangerous weapon
And then it goes on to define those dangerous weapons, that include metal knuckles, as has been quoted and referenced...
NRS 202.265 Makes it illegal to have metal knuckles in or around a school or child care.
Yeah, it sure does but that isn't the law I referenced or that I have been quoting, read the code I referenced and have quoted NRS 202.350 the code that makes them illegal to posses state wide...
Also why the punishment is so steep, because it is about concealed weapons.
The code and punishment I referenced is about the "
Manufacture or cause to be manufactured, or import into the State, or keep, offer or expose for sale, or give, lend or possess" It has nothing to do with the concealed clause, mere possession is a crime under the clause I quoted... Concealed is even a greater crime!
If you are charged under the 'concealed' clause (d) of the referenced code (NRS 202.350) forget about the misdemeanor charge it's instantly a class C felony, or MINIMUM 1 year in jail up to 5 years, and a $10,000 fine!
They all say "metal" knuckles so resin or plastic would still be ok.
Not true, many laws have in fact have been revised to specifically include plastic, wood and/or composites or knuckle like objects...
Also you have to read laws carefully, as the Nevada code does not actually state they need to be made of metal, if you read it very carefully it says "
any instrument or weapon of the kind commonly known as a switchblade knife, blackjack, slungshot, billy, sand-club, sandbag or metal knuckles;"
That highlighted part is VERY important, as it puts a big blanket coverage clause into the code, that being "any......commonly known as" and that is a very important clause... It doesn't define what any of those outlawed weapons are to be composed of, it's only using the name as a commonly accepted definition or description of the weapons covered... I'll bet 99.9% of the people you asked would "commonly" refer to them as "metal knuckles" or "brass knuckles" regardless of their metallurgy or other composition, thus even a plastic version in all likely hood and certainly is covered under said clause...
But, hey it your life, freedom and money on the line if you want to play games, just don't expect any sympathy from me if you get burned beyond the "I told you so..."
