What is an “Affirmative Defense” when accused of a knife defense?
In the July issue of Knife Magazine, attorney and knife expert Dan Lawson explains that “Laws that restrict the possession and carry of knives sometimes provide an exception to the offense specified where certain facts can be established by the offender.”
He provides examples of knife-related exception in several states in his article titled “Affirmative Defenses.”
