Offensive weapons act 2019 debacle

[Sim G]

Does a Sword Stick comes under the hand in? Have one somewhere, I think, nothing special, just a cheap import from India.

I should be a good boy then ... Wonder what they will give in exchange!

By the time I got a sympathetic antique dealer to write a valuation, I’d be getting a new rifle!!

[Polchraine]

If you don’t have a receipt £30 I’ve seen mentioned.

£29 more than it is worth!

[bradaz11]

k) the weapon sometimes known as a ‘blowpipe’ or ‘blow gun’, being a hollow tube out

I wonder how many Mcdonalds straws they will let me hand in?

brush, writing instrument, cigarette lighter, key, lipstick or telephone);

Do you think that those Victorinox credit card tools would come under this decription?

So, oomans, what's the current status of this piece of legislation ? Has it disappeared into a Covidial abyss of inactivity ? We had a peek around various Govt webpages butcan't ascertain whether it's been enacted and the compensation issue sorted yet.

As far as I'm aware, nothing new has been announced. Incredibly frustrating.
