LOL I love to talk to people who say that they have had their hands “registered with the local police” and that if they hit someone, its assault with a deadly weapon! Anyway, I asked my uncle who is a detective for the Sherrif’s office near me and he laughed. I knew it wasn’t true but I still wanted to check. He said it probably came from the 80′s when all the Kung Fu movies came out, and now there are kung fu idiots running around everywhere that say they can knock you out without touching you LOL.
So here we go….
The laws governing self defense will be different in most states and countries. “Self defense” is not a crime, it is a plea. The distinction with training only comes into play if you are determined to have been an antagonist and are found guilty of a crime, in which case whether your hands would be considered deadly weapons depends on whether or not the judge/jury felt you had the reasonable capacity or intent to hurt or kill a person with your bare hands.
As far as registering ones hands as a deadly weapon is nothing more than an urban myth. One would have to register other parts of their anatomy as well. For instance an elbow to the temple could kill. Everyone is capable of killing another person with their bare hands, so if registering hands was the case then everyone should have to register them regardless of training.
I searched the web and the only thing I was able to come up with was this: http://www.tafkac.org/faq2k/legal_2007.html
