dc.description.abstract§ 4809: Prohibited the concealed carrying of any Bowie knife, or any other knife of like kind or description, pistol, air gun, slungshot, brass knuckles, or other deadly or dangerous weapon, unless the person was threatened with, or had good reason to apprehend, an attack, or " while traveling, or setting out on a journey." Punishable by fine of $50-300 and imprisonment of not more than 6 months.
dc.description.lawtextThis law says prosecutors don't have to prove that someone lacked a valid reason for carrying a concealed weapon when charging them. They only need to show that the person carried a concealed weapon like a pistol or knife. If the person claims they had a legal excuse, it's up to them to prove it in court.
