Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 54 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"When taken together, Phinis and Runnels [ State v. Phinis, 199 Kan. 472 , 430 P.2d 251 , and State v. Runnels, 203 Kan. 513 , 456 P.2d 16 ] fashion the rule that the possession proscribed by the statute is not the innocent handling of the weapon but a willful or knowing possession with the intent to control the use and management thereof. This definition accords with that contained in PIK Criminal, chapter 53.00, Definitions and Explanations of Terms, p. 69: "` Possession: Having control over a place or thing with knowledge of and the intent to have such control. State v. Metz, 107 Kan. 593 , 193 P. 177 (1920); City of Hutchinson v. Weems, 173 Kan. 452 , 249 P.2d 633 (1952)....'" (p. 740.)”
