this is interesting.. so just possessing and illegal weapon is already consider a use for crime.......
however,
(j) Violation of subsections (a)(1) through (a)(5) is a class A nonperson misdemeanor. Violation of subsection (a)(6), (a)(7) or (a)( is a severity level 9, nonperson felony.
(k) As used in this section, "throwing star" means any instrument, without handles, consisting of a metal plate having three or more radiating points with one or more sharp edges and designed in the shape of a polygon, trefoil, cross, star, diamond or other geometric shape, manufactured for use as a weapon for throwing.

So most likely ill plead guilty? I will just have to pay the fine right? And I ask the cop if it was a big charge and he told me straight up its a misdemeanor... and he took my blade but this is the same one I was carrying.
