I carry a pocketknife on a daily basis during the summer. However, my high school unfortunately also has a zero tolerance policy on knives so I've dropped the habit to avoid the possibility of an accident. I've tried (though rather futily) to relax the punishments for the offence, but it seems no one in government wants to hear from a teen (Let a student give input on policies affecting them? We can't have that happening!)
I've considered breaking the blade off my knife and carrying it for the other tools, but I believe it is still considered a weapon.
I consider myself a liberal
