What is the current state of the law on firearms, concealable weapons, and concealable knives?

This issue was addressed in People v. Moore (2012) 211 Cal.App.4th 1179. There, the defendant was convicted for attempted second degree robbery and misdemeanor vandalism. At sentencing, the court imposed a variety of probation conditions, including a condition similar to the one at issue here that provided: "Do not own, use, or possess any dangerous or deadly weapons, including firearms, knives, and other concealable weapons." (Id. at p. 1183.) Like defendant in our case, the defendant in People v. Moore contended that this probation condition was unconstitutionally vague because it lacked an express knowledge requirement. (Ibid.)
