Motion #14

Law Reform - 7.5 Displayal of an Offensive Weapons

Law 7.5 is currently:

7.5 Displayal of Offensive Weapons

Any person who display an offensive weapon in a public setting commits an offence.

Felony - liable to 2 years maximum imprisonment, $4,000 maximum fine, and asset forfeiture.

Proposed Change:

7.5 Displayal of Offensive Weapons

Any person who displays an offensive weapon in a public area or publicly restricted area commits an offence.

Felony - liable to 2 years maximum imprisonment, $4,000 maximum fine, and asset forfeiture.

Key Difference:
Instead of "public setting," the wording is changed to "public area or publicly restricted area" resulting in members of the public being able to visibly show offensive weapons from secure private properties.
