Advice for carry in Los Angeles

[Kbrasmodeler]

I'll be in So Cal next week for business. Anything I should be aware of regarding carrying? Appreciate any reply.

There was another post a few days ago about the same topic. Search through the forum and you'll probably find it. iirc, under 3" is okay. I believe LA has some law against open carry of knives over 3" but concealed carry is okay. Or it could be just the opposite. I would stay under 3" and not have to deal with it.

so, let me get this straight. you make this post...

You forgot a word: "ca is far from being the most restrictive state yet". California is on the fast track to becoming the most restrictive, and LA is leading the charge. We'll be leaving NY and DC behind soon. Can't hardly wait to leave the "People's Republic", and move to Nevada or Vermont.

Los Angeles is pretty restrictive with the knife laws, but I've never heard about the laws actually being enforced. Concealed carry of folding knives is OK, in any case.

Wow. I didn't know a simple statement about the well known reputation of LA as a restrictive area for knife carry would generate this kind of ire. I never said I had intimate knowledge of the specific laws. Thank you for the link.

its not ire.

you made a baseless statement, having clearly not done any research.

if its so "well known", why the need for a new thread?

I made a very opinionated statement based on my own observations, as well as the political climate in California. What can I say, I'm opinionated. However, as you can find with a quick search, my opinion of California, and LA, is not unique. I'm sorry if I offended you, but my opinion is still the same: California is going socialist. For example, look at the restrictive legislation Arnie just signed regarding ammunition. It may not stand, but it indicates the willingness of the state government to restrict our freedoms. I won't go into all the restrictions with regard to scout knives at school, hunting tools, and the overtaxing of businesses, which is bankrupting the state.

Now, I know this has nothing, specifically, to do with knife carry in LA, but I have read some of the region-specific laws regarding such in the past, but it has been some time, and I don't recall the exact regional restrictions. However, as legal language is confusuing at best (I think just to justify lawyer fees), and misleading at worst, and always subjective and open to interperetation, and I leave Sunday afternoon, and thus will not be able to get my law degree in time, I was looking for specifics from Southern California locals on what they have observed regarding allowables, especially as local law enforcement often has a large amount of leeway regarding the application of said laws.

I don't know what I did to offend you, but I hope this explains my feelings on the matter. I don't wish to get in an argument or flame war, so I will not respond any further on this subject. Please accept my apology for any offense on my part.

i don't care if you are opinionated, so long as your opinion is based on fact and truth rather than misinformation.

i pointed out the inconsistencies in your posts yet you want to point the finger at me?

nothing i posted indicates i was offended.

remember that you posted the smartass remark which provided no factual information, even when i responded. also remember, that i provided exactly the information you requested, even though you simply could have looked halfway down the page.

i dont mind doing the homework for other forumites when it comes to interpretation or locating legal resources. all i expect is they think before they post and remember this is not really the place for discussing how "socialist" states may or may not be. that discussion is better suited for political or whine & cheese, imo.

good luck and enjoy your visit.
