Just kidding.....

I am friends with Bill Keeton....a well known Hoosier knifemaker (that Kentucky claims) from Laconia....he came by yesterday and I appraised some firearms for him...some very nice ones it turns out.....

Nothing to see here...history is dead.....

I really like throwing edged stuff, including stars and all those cool ninj'y things. But in case you didn't know, "Chinese throwing stars" are still illegal in Indiana I think it's funny that the IC code literally calls them Chinese throwing

stars, haha. Makes no sense to me and hopefully someday they get it off the books, like they recently did with automatic

knives.

Congratulations on A) owning a cool piece of history, and B ) admitting to owning contraband on a public forum. C ) finding some kin of LEO that'll do anything about it - slim to none. And I'm good with that.

Made mention of you before the Throne today.

Since they are made here in Indiana they would not qualify as Chinese throwing stars.

Since it is a poorly worded law someone needs to set precedent before the law will be removed from the books.

I can’t afford to be the precedent setter.

It is probably the stupidest law in the state of Indiana everything else is legal. But throwing stars?

I had one that had 3 points that folded out to 6 made by Parker cutlery, I carried it in my coat every day, one day at school I friend said let me see it, took it into the hall to show someone else…next thing I know he’s back saying someone in the hall wants to see you…a teacher walking down the hall saw the others with it, and rather than say “it’s mine” he said “its shootersix’s”…needless to say it ended up in the vice principals desk, and I got a stern lecture, luckily for me (and it being in the 80’s) I’d never been in trouble, I got off with a slap on the wrist.

And..................What about the star? Asking for a friend.

The vice principal told me the if one of my parents wanted to pick it up, they’d return it to them…my mom said that maybe I shouldn’t have it back, so I’m sure it was in his desk when he retired!

Agreed that it's stupid. The only other other thing is a ballistic knife, which isn't specifically named on the Indiana IC code, but is Federal (if I am remembering correctly).

The story about having them at school is funny. We used to punch them out in metal shop class, and threw them at everything

 

[2A_Tom]

Well that is a federal law so who gives a flip.

As a fan of Russian weaponry, saying one of these is on my want list is a major understatement. I'd even be ok with treating it as a firearm and filling out a 4473 for it.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I remember sharpening the edges of blades off a garden tool (think primitive "Garden Weasel) and using them for throwing stars as a kid.

It's not specifically named a ballistic knife, but it is prohibited under IC.

IC 35-47-5-2 Knife with a detachable blade
Sec. 2. It is a Class B misdemeanor for a person to manufacture, possess, display, offer, sell, lend, give away, or purchase any knife with a detachable blade that may be ejected from the handle as a projectile by means of gas, a spring, or any other device contained in the handle of the knife.
