I've read through the laws on a couple sites, and I've read the two threads I found on here concerning CHICAGO knife laws. I was, however, wondering if anyone knew if the "intent-based" carry laws are applicable in all cities. It seems only Chicago has a size law, and even that's loosely intent-based as well. Aurora specifically makes Balis illegal to carry.
I live in McHenry, 50 miles North of Chicago. I want to make sure that I cannot get my knives taken away if they've got 3.5"+ blades on them. My plans are to get a BM Griptilian for an EDC, and I would die if a cop took it from me :grumpy:
Would I be better off call the Non-Emergency police line or talking to a cop? I don't want to make any assumptions.
