Puukon hallussapito julkisessa huvitilaisuudessa rangaistiin teräaselain (28.1.1977/108) 4 ja 7 §§:n nojalla eikä julkisista huvitilaisuuksista annetun lain (9.8.1968/492) 8 §:n 1 momentin ja 18 §:n 2 momentin mukaan. Teräaselaki katsottiin tapaukseen soveltuvaksi erityislaiksi.

Ks. 1976 vp. - II LaVM n:o 4. - Esitys n:o 120 (1975

II vp.). Lakivaliokunta piti tarpeellisena, että julkisista

huvitilaisuuksista annetussa laissa olevia

säännöksiä, jotka koskevat aseen hallussapitoa, muutetaan

niin, että käy selväksi teräaseen hallussapidon

rangaistavuuden määräytyminen teräaselain mukaan.
