        True, I’d still give them partial credit for the dumb statement.

        Law says you can’t carry a knife bigger than 3 in. He carries a knife twice that size.

        Does he carry concealed in his pocket?

        No, He’s walking around carrying it openly pretending he’s a blade master, oh sorry that’s he claims it’s a fidget toy.

        4 months in jail seems a bit excessive, but when the law says don’t carry a weapon and you carry a weapon…
