In the interests of balance sometimes the knife (and sword) carriers get whats coming to them.
Quote:
A man who was caught carrying a lethal Samurai sword in a busy Paisley street has been locked up for three years.
...
Donnelly had stubbornly protested his innocence and claimed he had been entitled to have the sword – which had a fearsome blade measuring two-and-a-half feet – in his possession as his mother and brother had just been attacked.

And his lawyer goes for the classic defence of it's OK as he was out to avenge his family being attacked.
Still the streets are safe for 3 years... actually 1 1/2 years... actually about a year once good behaviour, time on remand, home detention etc. are all taken off.
