said by urbanriot:I'm sure this is concerning a law to allow people to openly wear an ornamental knife rather than waving one around so I'm sure them and everyone else will be okay. At least with Sikh's, we can see who has a knife.
No, this discussion is related to bringing what amounts to a knife into an Ontario courtroom (see first post
here), which is considered a secure area under the Public Works Protection Act in Ontario where knifes are otherwise prohibited as a safety concern.
I have no problem with someone walking down the street wearing a kirpan. Hell, I don't even think they're such a big deal in schools (I mean, kids use cutlery after all) I simply take issue with them being able to bring one into a designated secure area where the whole purpose of the area being secure is to prevent objects like even basic cutlery from getting in.
