They killed my son because he's black (Saratoga Springs)

Actually there is a difference in most states laws regarding carrying a sword vs a gun in the open.

Terrible phonetic spelling.
 
Why are not police-involved shootings investigated same way other homicides are. Why are not the cops questioned right after the accident. Memories fade, stories are corroborated. If a regular citizen is involved, there are detectives starting aggressive questioning right after the accident. Yet here officers are left un-interviewed for days. It does smell like cover-up...

I didn't realize there was good phonetic spelling.

It is supposed to sound like the actual word. I know of not a single one-toothed red-neck trailer trash person who would say protecting as pro-tetch-shun. Per-tek-tin maybe. Or maybe you meant it to be protection, and even then it would be per-tek-shun.

And hez too. Do you mean hiz? Because I believe "hiz" is acceptable on a spelling test in Arkansas.

I do know of a few who would pronounce it that way. They make it a point to get the "pro" part right and then **** up the rest of it.
 
Swords are usually covered in blade length part of knife laws.

Pretty sure Utah doesn't have any concealed carry knife laws. As long as you are not barred from carrying any weapon(ie parolee, mentally ill, etc.) you can open or conceal carry any blade you wish.

Utah has concealed weapons laws that apply to some knives. There are no open carry restrictions though...

I looked it up.

In Utah you cannot conceal carry a "deadly weapon" without a permit. The way the law is written it depends on the circumstances. The prosecutor must prove that you were carrying it as a weapon.

example 1
Dude is stopped by the cops and they find a smiley(chain with a padlock) in his jacket pocket. They ask "What is this for?" he responds "For protection". He goes to jail.

example 2
Dude is stopped with 8" knife on his belt concealed by his jacket. Cops ask " What is this for?" he responds "I'm going fishing. I use it to gut fish." He goes fishing.

There are no specific restrictions. The restrictions have more to do with intent and plausible use.

That is why I said some knives. For example, some knives, by their very character, are considered to be deadly weapons...

I started my first post with "pretty sure" because I honestly wasn't certain. Your response that there were in fact restrictions made me curious if there were any and what they were. You were right. Just sharing what I found that's all.

Utah is strange in the sense these rules only apply to concealed weapons. Open carry all day long (except at Panda Express)
 
So this guy isn't a threat:

But this guy somehow is a threat worthy of killing him?

Why do I get the feeling that if this guy had been... Lighter... People would have just assumed he was a zoobee still high off the comicon in salt lake?
