TweetJust had some girl tell me her sisters MMA wannabe boyfriend had to register his hands with the police department as "deadly weapons". I told her that the guy is lying because there is NO SUCH THING AS REGISTERING YOUR HANDS AS DEADLY WEAPONS...geezo...

TweetI used to hear that, around here, to be true.

TweetI THOUGHT WHEN U BECAME A CERTAIN RANK IN MARTIAL ARTS (KARATE) THAT WAS TRUE..IM CURIOUS TO KNOW..IMMA HAVE TO GOOGLE IT

TweetGoogle it yamaha. It is totally FALSE. This myth has been around for about 100 years. There are online places where you can pay to get a certificate, but it is just a scam.
It is a way for insecure dudes to intimidate people. "I would kick your ass, but I am not allowed to because my hands are registered with the pollice department" LOL

I always assumed it was true because you can be charged with assault with a deadly weapon if you have been trained, right?

Some states can charge you with assault with a deadly weapon but it doesn't matter if you are trained or not. Trained people have the same right to defend themselves as people that aren't trained. For example, here is some information on California law from some attorneys website:

"hands, feet, and other body parts do not qualify as deadly weapons under California ADW law. However, if you use your body to inflict "great bodily injury" on another, you can still trigger an ADW charge. This is because California Penal Code 245(a)(1) penalizes those who assault another with deadly weapons, instruments other than firearms, and any means of force likely to produce great bodily injury.

so if one was to put a guy down and cave in an attacker's face with a knee it could be ADW?

i doubt many prosecutors would even try a case like that unless the victim neutralized the threat and continued to attack

I think it's geared more towards if you are the attacker and cave someones face in with your knee you might get an ADW charge.

Can you really register "your hand" as a deadly weapon? - Yahoo! Answers

TweetI remember Jason Miller saying that he got into it with his sister and got arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon because of his training background

TweetNOW THATS FUNNY!

"Before you go any further, I am required by law to tell you that my hands are registered with the police department as deadly weapons!"
