The offense of carrying a location-restricted knife applies to individuals under 18 as stated in the statute?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. N/A
• D. Only if they possess a different weapon

Answer: (A)

The important idea here is that a location-restricted knife offense is written to cover conduct by any person, not just adults. If the statute doesn’t include a specific exemption for minors, then individuals under 18 are included in the prohibited conduct. So a person younger than 18 who carries a location-restricted knife in a restricted area can be charged under this statute. In practice, when a juvenile is charged, juvenile court procedures apply, but the liability for carrying the knife remains. The other options miss the point because the law targets the act itself and the knife, not whether the offender also has another weapon, and there isn’t a separate “N/A” scenario here.
