Are brass knuckles illegal in MD?

Yes, They are a weapon used to inflict injury to another person, they are not considered a toy or a collectible therefore the only reason to have them is to hurt someone.\nYou can't get a permit for them like you can a gun. Its the same as walking around with a big knife in your pocket. But if your going to beat someone up you are probably going to go to jail anyways so whats the big deal right?\nWrong, if you used your fist, it would be assault and battery, which is a misdemeanor offense, if you an object such as brass knuckles it is considered a felonious assault, which means you could go to prison . Felonies are hardly ever given probation for and usually carry stiff fines. And convicted felons are never aloud to vote again or join the military, live in federal or public assisted housing (HUD) or own a handgun.And in the state of new york not aloud to be a garbage collector (lol, strange law!!) \n.. Usually misdemeanors if convicted means probation and or fines or serve time in the local jail. Therefore it is wise not to ever uses a object to fight with. Big house,verses, little house....

throwing stars are most definitely illegal in NY, and you'll be hard pressed to find a reputable dealer who will ship here (although there are always places to get things).  Most swords, however, are legal to own, although carrying them may be a different story.  Notable exceptions are swords with concealed blades such as the cane swords and the samurai swords which look like walking sticks.

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.

None that are legal. There are illegal ways, but it would not be worth it to me. $250,000 in fines with a possibility of 5 years in jail? Not a good trade for watching King Kong...

None. Real men do things with their hands involving tools, and rings cause accidents. Don't trust a guy wearing a pinky ring.

No, it's not illegal.  It's only illegal if you are wanted for questioning in a crime relating to a baseball bat.  You're safe otherwise.

Usually, whether the spot is designated no skating or not, they will arrest or ticket you for vandalism or trespassing (at least this has been the case for my friends and I).  Skating or riding a bike in itself is not a crime, however when you start waxing ledges or jumping stairs, the cops and business owners immediately label you a vandal.  Pretty lame, but they do it all the time.

The laws vary from state to state.  I would check with your local district attorney's office as to your options.

Switchblades, as defined below and when possessed under the below conditions, are illegal.\n\n653k.  Every person who possesses in the passenger's or driver's area of any motor vehicle in any public place or place open to the public, carries upon his or her person, and every person who sells, offers for sale, exposes for sale, loans, transfers, or gives to any other person a switchblade knife having a blade two or more inches in\nlength is guilty of a misdemeanor.\n   For the purposes of this section, "switchblade knife" means a knife having the appearance of a pocketknife and includes a spring-blade knife, snap-blade knife, gravity knife or any other similar type knife, the blade or blades of which are two or more inches in length and which can be released automatically by a flick of a button, pressure on the handle, flip of the wrist or other mechanical device, or is released by the weight of the blade or by any type of mechanism whatsoever.  "Switchblade knife" does not include a knife that opens with one hand utilizing thumb pressure\napplied solely to the blade of the knife or a thumb stud attached to the blade, provided that the knife has a detent or other mechanism that provides resistance that must be overcome in opening the blade, or that biases the blade back toward its closed position.\n   For purposes of this section, "passenger's or driver's area" means that part of a motor vehicle which is designed to carry the driver and passengers, including any interior compartment or space therein.\n\nAnd I don't know where the "over six inch" thing comes from, because a knife that's three inches long, double-edged and concealed is every bit as illegal as one that's six inches or more.  \n\nDangerous things, some of you think you know.

Can't speak for virginia, but I live in colorado and the law you speak of is a local law that makes it legal in the city of denver to have some pot, but it's important to remember that federal law still overrides over the city of denver and it is still illegal to have pot in denver.

It is illegal to be in public with an open can/bottle of alcohol in your hands, so yes it is illegal to drink in the park unless it is a festival where they have special licensing laws.

The age of consent in Maryland is 16, so generally, the scenario you describe isn't illegal; however, there may be exclusions for a person "in a position of authority", particularly school employees.  Checking the statute now..\n\nUpdate:  There doesn't seem to be any exclusion for "position of authority"; however, under § 3-322, "Unnatural or perverted sexual practice", performing oral sex *IS* a crime in Maryland! "A person who violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction is subject to imprisonment not exceeding 10 years or a fine not exceeding $1,000 or both."\n\nNote that, as wrong as it sounds, under § 3-318, the 37yo woman/15yo boy situation is legal. "In general.- Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this section, a person may not be prosecuted under § 3-303, § 3-304, § 3-307, or § 3-308 of this subtitle for a crime against a victim who was the person's legal spouse at the time of the alleged rape or sexual offense.

I believe in CA they ARE considered Illegal. I tried to play at a field years ago with an F2 Illustartor with a silencer and was told that I could not because it's illegal.

There is a clause in the mutilation law....U.S. Title 18, Chapter 17, Section 331: Prohibits among\nother things, fraudulent alteration and mutilation of coins. This\nstatue does not, however, prohibit the mutilation of coins if done\nwithout fraudulent intent if the mutilated coins are not used\nfraudulently."\n\nSo the machines are legal since the coins are not going to be used fraudulently.

Yes it is legal. That happened in Smiths Station, a suburb (and in a different COUNTY) of Phenix City.
