Someone told me once that a black belt is considered equal to a weapon by law , and if you beat someone up and the police knew that you have a black belt , they consider it equal to beating him with a stick or a baseball bat
I doubt it though

Iv'e heard many similar comments,Iv'e even heard that you have to register yourself as a weapon.For me,I guess I'll find out the day I get my black belt.

No you won't. I got my black belt many years ago and I'm still waiting.
