    They’re only allowed to have 7.62 cm, so from a legal standpoint it’s almost twice the legal limit.

    If the law doesn’t make sense you don’t challenge it by breaking it.

    The police don’t carry guns there so yeah they’re concerned.

    Running around twirling a clearly illegal item in public is pretty good logical grounds for police intervention. If the law says 3 in when do you actually stop them is it 4, 10, 12? If he was just transporting it from one house to another they might have let it go. But he’s walking around fidgeting twirling it in the open. I suspect he was performing twirls and dagger tricks. So the general public is probably also a little concerned. If he’s walking around his neighborhood twirling it around all the time it might even been a neighbor that called the police on it.

    The fine is reasonable, getting locked up for 4 months is probably a bit much.
