Of course, when your basic tenet is that weapons are "eeevil" you are bound to get some dumb laws. The laws about knives in California are really strange. If you use a pocket knife on a regular basis, be careful.

• A. G. Russell makes the Feather Light pocket knife which is my favorite.
• Spyderco also produces quality knives suited for heavy duty work.
• Tool Logic makes a credit card utility tool that can be quite useful in place of a pocket knife.

Of course, I can't finish without some really controversial items in the Politically Incorrect section.

Consider this idea: Individuals are endowed with rights by their Creator; rights are not bestowed by the government on social groups.

And this is considered a radical notion: Any government powerful enough to give you everything that you want, is also a government powerful enough to take everything you value.

Finally: Those who are willing to trade some freedom for security deserve neither.

These ideas clash with the current political tide that expects a government program will be the right approach to any problem. But this common political view is open to critical review at the following locations:

• The Cato Institute is one of the premier public policy research institutes that looks to limited government powers.
• The Hoover Institute also studies public policy issues.
• The Libertarian Party is the political party that strongly advocates limited government.
• The Republican Liberty Caucus provides a forum advocating limited government within the mainstream political party system.
• The Democratic Freedom Caucus is the other forum advocating limited government within the mainstream political party system.
