anyone got a knife

I don't know the story but it is possible he lives in a strict knife law area and even first responders off duty in some areas can't carry what they would at work and therefore maybe leave it at work.

Just a thought ...

I've been to windham NH more times than I can count. NH has virtually no restrictions on much as far as I remember. My PA CCW is good up there but no states in between.
 
I had no clue about the laws there ... I know here I wouldn't be caught without a seatbelt cutter ... one in each vehicle if not on a carry item ... and in a pinch always a knife ...

but I have heard of some off duty or volunteer firemen having had issues carrying ... you would think common sense would kick in but then again ... when it comes to sharp things or things that go boom ... common sense is often lacking.
 
This part of New England in MA.

All officers and most firefighters I know love knives and carry at least one or two, even if it's a junk S/W or Crkt.

And yes firefighters always get the credit and budget lol. My buddy is a firefighter and has a forge/metal shop. Makes very cool hand made knives and tools. You just never know.

This is why I gift knives.

I did a similar thread quite a while ago but it was a trucker asking to borrow my knife while I helped him unload our shipment.
Seriously ?
I tossed him my loner. I keep it in my tool belt for when I have to do unspeakable things with a knife . . . like loan it to someone.

Usually I end up cutting all the shrink wrap off the pallets while the trucker looks on like "durrrrrrr what's that ?"

Hahaha
eeeeya
Have you ever heard the story about the old machinist . ..
one of the new guys said "I left my micrometer at home (one of them) the old guy will lend me one right ?"
The other young guy said "good luck; you got a better chance asking him to borrow his wife ".
That about covers it for me. Unless it is another old timer that I trust. I think there might be two on the planet that I can think of that I would let use my tools.
 
I just verified. NH has no knife restrictions.
There is no reason that fire fighter could not carry a knife.
If he did not have one because he did not want to carry one, maybe this incident will "wake him up" and he'll start to carry one. Next time he might not find anyone to borrow a knife from.

I bet he could carry one of these (my dedicated seat belt cutters). Slip joint, all of two and a quarter inches . . . my go out to dinner knife . . . but pure Cold Steel destruction and mayhem ! ! ! ! !

Just imagine if the samaritan pulled out a dull 8Cr13MoV Quartermaster. This story may have had a much worse ending. :eek:
 
This reminds me of the time George didn't want to give his ATM password to save the guy. All you have is a $1,000 pristine folder in your pocket to save someone from a hot, molten accident. "The knife knut, give me the knife!".

This just happened to me a few weeks ago. I got a delivery of ceramic tiles tied to a pallet with thick straps.
I watched the trucker struggling to undo the straps, so I asked him if he wanted to cut the straps. He said he didn't have a knife.....
