Depends on local laws.  Most states require that any individual that carries a weapon have a concealed carry permit.  Some states only allow police officers to carry concealed weapons.  Just because you're a PI, doesn't give you the right to concealed carry.

Wow.\n\nYes.  You can keep a baseball bat (or any kind of club-like device)near your seat in your car.  However, if that baseball bat is there for self-defense, there's a good chance you're going to get arrested for section 12020(a) of the Penal Code.\n\nSame thing with some types of knives.\n\nYou can legally carry a gun as long as you have had a concealed carry permit issued to you.  But please don't.\n\nI'd recommend you read through the section I quoted above, but even then you're not going to be an expert on what kind of things might be considered an illegal weapon by law enforcement.

Yes it is the law in the UK.  You cannot let a child leave (unless to an adult guardian) before the age of 16 and neither can they leave of their own free will. The police will return them to home xx

In my dojo, we've heard this rumor also.  While we have not verified the information, we decided as a class that whoever started the rumor had a good point.  As such, now when practicing weapons takeaway techniques, we either throw the weapon from the area in the case of a knife, or lock and load the weapon at the opponent  in the case of a gun.  This gets us into the habit, at least, of keeping the weapon away from the attacker once we've got control of it.

Other states usually change what they consider legal for knives, but the majority of states state that anything over 6 inches is lethal. So, it usually falls under 6 inches.

Handgun ownership is illegal in the UK and in the UK home invasion robbery is on the rise.  When a population is unarmed, then criminals can rampage the countryside without much danger of a homeowner protecting his family and property.\n\nThis is an ugly side effect of banning gun ownership.\n\nWe in the USA can still own guns and it is LAW given us by the Second Amendment.

As I understand it, you can use equal force to defend yourself. This does not mean if someone comes at you with a knife, you cannot use a gun. Someone attacking you with a knife is using deadly force, and you are allowed to use deadly force to defend yourself. But, another issue is can you easily subdue that person without using deadly force. The drunk swinging the bottle at you is a good example. Sure, it can kill you, and could be considered deadly force, but can you avoid his attacks easily and disarm him?

In the UK, the police do not need a warrant to arrest you for any criminal offense if they have reasonable grounds  for believing you committed it or may be about to do so. The time of night and where the arrest takes place are totally immaterial as far as the law is concerned.\n\nThe police may need a search warrant to search your property, but this does not affect their right to arrest you.

It is said Confucius would not allow knives at his table as it could be an act of aggession and this lead to the spread of chopsticks.  An all out ban on knives I have not been able to locate any info on

Three and a half inch blade. Yes it does apply even if the knife is carried closed. The blade must be equal to three and a half inches or under.

Not every state is backwards and forces their citizens to register their firearms like New York does.  How it compares with other countries is really hard to tell because I've heard stories about people in England loosing firearms before they were banned there.  There are places that the USSR sold weapons to during the cold war (and we did to).  While there is official numbers no one really knows how many firearms there are, the same as not everyone knows how many knives there are.
