I thought that any non-switchblade folder of any length was legal to conceal. Of course, a few localities have ordinances to the contrary and carrying on public property, especially schools may get you in trouble.
Outside of the above limitations, is it legal to carry folders concealed? I purchased my REKAT Sifu with the understanding that concealed was O.K., but have become a bit nervous when I read on packing.org:
"While CA has the classical old political CCW system (no right to carry except for politicians and celebrities -- e.g. anti-gun rights senators Boxer and Feinstein have permits) there are two things you should know. First: CA has a gray area defactoquasi-right-to-carry. The state law provides that carrying a concealed weapon (including a knife or blackjack) is a FELONY.However, the wise legislators kept a clear exception to cover all of their friends and relatives that carry illegally. If you are carrying a gun (not a knife!) AND it was legally purchased AND you are not a gang member (yes, they have a statutory definition of gang member) AND it is your first such arrest then concealed carry is only a misdemeanor. This was explained to me by severalprofessionals and lawyers and I checked it out on the CA government web page. A typical fine is $200. Do not carry a knife or baton!Secondly, the country's safest city, Simi Valley has its own right to carry program. It requires a psychological evaluation ($250), afew night classes on the law and shooting and a shooting test. Total cost about $550"
