Jujitsu 4th degree, needs to register with the State?

[m1k3]

I spent some time doing Grand Jury duty in NJ. I asked an ADA that question one day when we had some free time. Her response was no, there is nothing like that in NJ, however martial arts training would be considered as just one factor in the case if there was one.

Someone I know made this claim to me today.

Other than old 1970's karate schools making these claims, has anyone EVER found this to be true in any state, let alone Illinois?

Well it IS IL....

Much like any leftist state don't you have to register anything that can be used for self defense? (IE, firearms, knives, phones that can dial 911, etc. )
God forbid you hurt an assailant.

[Mas Judt]

that's not a point at all.

are you a fuking tard or something? Is your whole family retarded like you?

f-ing tard.

Jameison - we all know you are a 'liberal'. You don't have to prove it by having no argument other than name calling.

[BoulderDawg]

yeah that doesnt really make sense as far as points go

But then you have to understand that making sense is not Bad's strong point!

You didn't say why he had to register with the state. Some people DO have to do this but it has nothing to do with MA.

My point was that he was trained to fight, yet he wasnt even charged with murder and he got a light sentence.

I think your point is that the law doesn't look at trained fighters/martial artists any differently than most people, right?

I teach Sociology. A couple of semesters back I had a student who told me that soon she would be registering with the police due to her acquiring her black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I asked her why she believed this was necessary. She replied that her instructor told her that this was necessary. He also claims to have done the same thing she said.

Needless to say I dismissed this as pure nonsense. Its amazing the foolish things that some people say and that others believe.

You got it.

[Shaolinlueb]

the only people that have to register their hands are sex offenders.

This is actually not the case. If you were to get into a fight (as the aggressor or not) it will be taken into account as an aggrevating factor. You will be required to articulate why you used the amount of force you used.

Also, it works in the reverse. If you get into a fight and you have knowledge of their high level of skill you can actually reason why you used as much force as you did.

In the eyes of the law it is more about what you can "articulate" more than what actually happened.

I was actually referring to 1bad's post that nobody seemed to understand.

And to be honest, if I get in a serious fight, I'll do whatever I have to to survive...I can't think about the law when my life is in danger.

That was a serious overreaction to 1Bad's statement. He was being completely civil and simply trying to add to the conversation, and then Jamieson (sic?) just went completely bat-ass crazy. It's more weird than insulting.

[golden arhat]

f-ing tard.

chill out DJ if it doesnt make sense then just say so!

[David Jamieson]

you guys can't handle me berating 1bad after all his beratings?

go fuck yerselves then.

If you don't like it, don't read it.

I'm only giving back what's being given.

expect more if you're gonna be fairies about it.

I had to register my C0ck with the police, in case I would use it as a lethal weapon, but in all fairness, its a very big C0ck, here is a pic:
