Open Ban carrying religious, cultural & ceremonial bladed & pointed items in public

Created by Steve Hall
Closes on

I believe that the carrying of religious, cultural and ceremonial bladed & pointed items in public should be treated the same as the carrying of all other bladed & pointed items.

I believe that a knife is a knife, and that religious and cultural traditions should not be put above public safety.
