Paperweight brass knuckles?

[DD977GM2]

Are there any specific laws to owning the brass knuckles that are paperweights for your desk etc?

I'd look to see if I can find the reference, but I recall reading something about a month ago that specifically said brass knuckles are illegal in CO - even if you use them as a paperweight only.

Colorado law is very clear on this matter. The use you give this device is irrelevant. The possession of metallic knuckles or any other "illegal weapon" - as identified by C.R.S. 18-12-102 (2) - earns the offender a Class 1 Misdemeanor unless the person meets the requirements of affirmative defense as presented in C.R.S. 18-12-102 (5).

I have one of these. Except mine is a belt buckle.

Is it a registrable item?

Perhaps after a 4 month waiting period, $200 tax stamp, registration in an FBI database, and a training course.

I purchase mine in South Dakota at the Sturgis rally, before I started buying guns.

Items in the "Dangerous Weapons" list can be registered; items in the "Illegal Weapons" list cannot.

Is something like that covered under a Colorado Concealed Weapon Permit? My CWP only says I'm authorized to carry a concealed weapon. It doesn't define "weapon", or go into any specifics. To me, a ballpeen hammer in my pocket would be a concealed weapon, and so would brass knucks. And I have a permit saying I can carry a concealed weapon.

Just a gray area I've wondered about.....I don't carry weapons that don't go bang.

Hmmmm, the only brass knuckles I have, all have vertical foregrips on them.
