However, upon the trial of this charge, the defendant shall be acquitted if it appears that he was at the time engaged in a lawful business, calling, employment or occupation, and that the circumstances in which he was placed justified a prudent man in possessing such a weapon for the defense of his person or family. (Ord. 65-2013. Passed 7-15-13.)
