Motion #8

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.

This motion proposes that the law is changed to:

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.

The key difference being instead of a public setting the wording is changed to a public area resulting in members of the public being able to visibly show offensive weapons from secure private properties.
