I don't think you're going to do time if found with a knife - but I really don't recommend packing one.

Before you start quoting facts about the law to people, which lets face it is a relatively important subject, it might be an idea to know what country we are talking about.
Ghost, (from the UK) was telling nathanrd (from the UK) - about UK law on knife crime. Several new bills have been passed, one of them increasing the jail sentence for possession of a knife to 5 years. They are also removing the paperwork associated with Stop and Search for offensive weapons, to make it easier for the Officers.
