Alberta to allow Sikhs to wear religious knives in court

Rednecks.

"Under the Justice Department policy, a person must tell security officers they have a kirpan and wear it in a sheath, under clothing."


WTF??? A friend of mine did 6 mos for carrying a concealed weapon. And he wasn't trying to enter a court house!

Last year I went to the Edmonton court house and I was given a choice regarding my pocket knife. " Either go put it in your car, or we will confiscate it right here".

I've decided to start a religion where all adherents have to wear a Holy .45 in a proper hip holster. This is so that they're always ready to do 'spiritual battle' with the forces of evil.

I think I'll also require adherents to wear a funny hat just for the lulz.

Common sense meet window!

I love how we always just seem to have the problem of the above the moment someone brings religion into the picture.

Isn't that just being a Texan?

I tossed that idea out a few years ago and had a ton of people lined up to convert and then a police friend of mine informed me that it was never going to happen in Canada.

Somewhat off topic, but I think Fallout: New Vegas did something exactly like that with the Mormon Church, but .45 ACP weaponry like the M1911.

As a Christian couldn't you carry a large sword and claim that you knelt before it to commune with God....worked for the Templars and other sworn knights

Just another group happy to use our own rules against us.

Hang on, more will come.

Except that I prefer to use a .50 rifle.

I could just imagine the conversation later in 'their' coffee room. " Hey Ralph. Look at the cool Swiss Army knife I scored today from some sucker! "
