carrying a saw in your car?

I'd imagine they would let a person who is knowledgeable do the sawing, but not joe public unless it was reasonably safe. I'm just surprised, given the current mindset of police that they did not then arrrest him for having a weapon in his vhicle. I guess some have common sense. I tend to carry a small screwdriver with me, and once I was stopped and when they found it had to call base to find out if it could be an offensive weapon. I mean who is going to stab somebody with a jewelers screwdriver with a plastic handle. It has come in useful for all sorts of things like tightening up knobs and making small holes in wood in the past. Brian

Do the local papers still run the occasional spread showing all the weapons the Police have confiscated in a school playground search?

Do you have permission from the land owners to collect firewood from their land? Did you have permission from the owner of the land it had been growing on to remove the fallen tree? If the answer to either or both is no, you have just admitted to going equipped to steal and/or theft.

In theory, maybe. In practice, you'll end up completely blind if you don?t watch out.
