– “Purpose. The object of this section is to prevent the
   carrying of concealed deadly weapons about the person,
   because persons becoming suddenly angered, and having such
   a weapon in their pocket, would be likely to use it, which
   in their sober moments they would not have done, and which
   could not have been done had not the weapon been upon
   their person.” (1892)
– “Purpose… in enacting… was to remove the ‘temptation
   and tendency’ to use concealed deadly weapons under
   conditions of ‘excitement.'” (1979)
– “A razor is a deadly weapon…” (1903).
