A person does not commit an offence under articles 7.4 or 7.5 if the offensive weapon in question is stored or displayed within a property defined by the banks of Paralake City as being a Shop or Business.

Why should this change/addition be made: These laws are not actual criminal offenses, but are legal justifications exonerating people from other criminal offenses. Therefore, having punishments makes no sense and only serves to confuse, as if someone is not properly abiding by either of these laws then the legal exemption is void and they can be charged with the original offense, be it brandishing/possessing an offensive weapon.


What is the aim of this change/addition: Removes two frequently mis-issued punishments, reduces ambiguity and complexity, brings laws in line with other laws of its type (similar to laws 2.2 Necessity and 4.3 Exemption from Law).

Additional Information: Another solution for this would be incorporating laws 7.6 and 7.7 into the existing laws for 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5, allowing them to be removed entirely.
