I found this while researching thought it might be of some interest

http://www.donath.org/Rants/StateKnifeLaws/

I looked though and the author states to go ahead and make sure for yourself and there's links to other sites that may have a little more info.

Anthony-Thanks for posting the link.I deleted your last post because even though you did nothing wrong what you posted could have lead into things that are forbidden to talk about on open forum.I'm going to leave this topic open for now just as long as the discussion doesn't lead into the forbidden area.Feel free to discuss the laws but do not discuss ways to bend them it is forbidden.

It's a good idea to have this thread for reference. In fact, I think we had it up once before - dunno where it went... Confused

As Magnum says, this is the place to come check out the laws - NOT a place to discuss circumventing them. Perhaps that's why the last one was deleted. Just remember that discretion is the word here.... Wink

Somebody oughta dredge up that 'summary of auto knife laws', put it in 'blade q&a' as a sticky and then lock it. No problems with discussions or other posts and it'd be here for any and all to see... Wink

I apologize for the lack of judgement on my part. I assure you it was not meant to present an instructional outline merely represent unenforceable regulations.
