Knife law farce as boy buys weapons
Marc Horne
A SUNDAY TIMES investigation has revealed the lack of regulation that allows knife crime to flourish in the west of Scotland.

A 15-year-old boy was illegally sold more than 20 dangerous weapons in shops — including several high street chains — with no attempt made to check his identity.

Calum Duke, a schoolboy from Glasgow working undercover, was able to buy a potentially lethal haul of blades including kitchen knives, daggers, dirks, hunting knives, craft knives and even an axe.

In some cases, shopkeepers offered to wrap the weapons, warning that he could find himself in trouble with the police if he was found with them in his possession.

Ooooooooohhhhh, Scary :eek:

You're kidding. A fifteen year old can't buy a knife? That's just silly.

Don't you get it man! Knives are dangerous, dangerous I tell you! [/Ren]
