Which often won't release, of course my "rescue" knife, made only for rescue
personnel is illegal for me to carry "off-duty", 4 inch locking blade,
heavily serated AND blunt bull-nosed (to reduce the risk of penetrating an
acident victim)...
And I have a "duty of care" to stop and offer assistance off duty, as all
trained ambulance (and fire) personel do.
Stupid laws, for stupid people?
