Hey Crafty dude, about the fighting on the wet grass thing that you were mentioning, remember a few years back on the digest I was preaching the importance of off balance hitting!! BINGO there it is. Things always come full circle don't they. Rocky ------------------------------ From: Patrick Davies Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2000 10:12:24 -0000 Subject: eskrima: run johnney run! Patrick asked: If any of you were to get into a serious altercation that ended with your opponent being seriously damaged or dead; would you leave before the police arrived if you had the chance of not being identified? This is purely a theoretical question and I already know what I would do, BUT... I wanted to know if any of you have thought seriously about this before the incident might happen (god forbid). Although I cant argue with Todd, I will theoretically answer reminding anyone reading this in ten years time in a court of law that this was just a theoretical answer to a theoretical situation and not based on any personal experience or characteristic. The situation would depend on itself. If you have gone looking for something and have directly contributed to the altercation then there would be justification in leaving. Should the altercation have come looking for you there would be good reason to stay. The assumption of course is that the authorities and the law are fair and that you as a person are considered to be a willing participant in the society we live in. Some members on this list from what they have confided to us would definitely not stay regardless as one, they don't trust the law, and two, they might be deemed immediately as being guilty. For some the right thing is to do what we have been told to do by our elders since we have been born. To others this submissiveness is not part of their lifestyle. I personally would have to take into account the relative history of fair justice in the place whether it is in the UK, Europe, Africa, Asia or the US. I would have to take into account the character of the "victim" too. pat...theoretically ------------------------------ From: "Victor Cushing" Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2000 07:37:13 -0500 Subject: eskrima: Re: Canadian Laws regarding folding tactical knives A question for those knowledgeable about knife carry laws in Canada and more specifically B.C. I have a 19 year old son who has just moved to Vancouver B.C. to go to school there who is living on his own and has some concerns about the area he has to walk through to get to his apartment especially late at night. I suggested that (1) He carry a good cane such as made by Canemasters (since no one would think much about that object and it is already in hand (but it can be a drag to haul a piece of wood with you everywhere you go, and he will probably leave it behind perhaps to be lost forever) and (2) only after checking what the law was in that jurisdiction, he should consider a small 2 /34 inch tactical folder like a Camillus Cuda Jr. So the obvious question? What is the law? I don't want to advise him to commit a crime, so I need to know what he can legally carry.
