Montreal police ticket for carrying traditional knife.

[Taskr]

Perhaps an article of interest to those of us who contemplate wearing the sgian dubh. I will note that I am all for tradition and the wear of traditional items. Yet, I do respect that some (I said some) others outside the culture might not share that. If there is a bylaw concerning blades so be it. Many of us have been scrutinized for something that would be completely outside of our character since the opportunal observer could not possibly know us. But McCarthy makes some good points regarding upcoming Scot themed events.
Not posting this to wage a cultural identity debate nor to rain fire on police for actions within, it appears, upholding the law. Just some food for thought as we head out the door kilted. http://news.nationalpost.com/news/ca...itional-dagger
