I surprised one of our State Reps once when I asked if Indiana's patchwork knife laws were constitutional. Both the State and Feds are restricted from disallowing keep and bear, but yet, here we are.
What if throwing stars are the best option for me???
"As kids" was likely before the Great Ninja Scare of the mid-to-late Eighties. All the hand-wringing of "we gotta do SOMETHING for the CHILDREN" so we outlawed something that has not been used in a crime in this country, like, ever.We may or may not have made our own throwing stars out of one of those garden hand-cultivator type thingies when we were kids. Just had to file down the edges, but they were pretty wicked. Allegedly.

We had a throwing star stuck in the ceiling of our Middle School for most of a year. 30 feet up above the lockers.
Oh yeah, definitely before then. More like early to mid 70's (about the time the tv show "Kung Fu" was on).
I never understood that ban. Granted I was a kid, but did we have some strange ninja attacks that caused us to ban them? Or maybe did this coincide with banning lawn darts?
