so i am on vacation in another country. ive been wanting to pick up 2 brass knuckles witch are legal here. my question is would it be legal to bring them to california in my checked luggage? id realy love to have them on display at my house. i have checked and it is legal to have brass knuckles in ur checked luggage. i know they are illeagle in california but i have heard also that as long as they are only used as paper weights it is ok. i just dont want to bring them to california then get stopped at the airport once i arrive and thrown in jail or something.. i wouldnt mind them taking it but jail time for something silly like that doesnt sound to good.. any help would be appreciated thanks!

I figure the founding fathers didn't put in an amendment for knives, sticks and clubs, because they never, ever thought anyone would actually try to outlaw carrying one...but that's just meComment

I was incorrect about plastic knuckles, corrected by ke6guj.
12020.1. Any person in this state who commercially manufactures or causes to be commercially manufactured, or who knowingly imports into the state for commercial sale, keeps for commercial sale, or offers or exposes for commercial sale, any hard plastic knuckles is guilty of a misdemeanor. As used in this section, "hard plastic knuckles" means any device or instrument made wholly or partially of plastic that is not a metal knuckle as defined in paragraph (7) of subdivision (c) of Section 12020, that is worn for purposes of offense or defense in or on the hand, and that either protects the wearer's hand while striking a blow or increases the force of impact from the blow or injury to the individual receiving the blow. The plastic contained in the device may help support the hand or fist, provide a shield to protect it, or consist of projections or studs that would contact the individual receiving a blow.(7) As used in this section, "metal knuckles" means any device or
instrument made wholly or partially of metal which is worn for
purposes of offense or defense in or on the hand and which either
protects the wearer's hand while striking a blow or increases the
force of impact from the blow or injury to the individual receiving
the blow. The metal contained in the device may help support the hand
or fist, provide a shield to protect it, or consist of projections
or studs which would contact the individual receiving a blow.Last edited by lorax3; 05-25-2009, 9:58 PM.You think you know, but you have no idea.

Not at the same time, but yes. And yes, I wound up in the hospital both times. After dishing out my own punishment though. A left to the chest, right to the jaw, and steel toed boots do some real damage to punks trying to steal from you..."No posts of mine on Calguns are to be construed as
