With all due respect, if you HAVE a CCW permit and dont even know what it allows you to carry do you really have any business having one in the first place??? Seriously.

Mine allows me to carry a handgun only:grumpy:. Do I have your permission to carry now?:rolleyes: Seriously there are huge law books on each states rules and regulations for concealed carry and no one has enough time to read, study, and interpret every fine detail.

Correct my friend!

(6) “Illegal Knife” means a:
(A) knife with a blade over five and one half inches;
Rainer v. State, 763 S.W.2d 615 (Tex. App.-Eastland 1989, pet. ref’d) To determine
length, measure entire length of blade past handle, not just the sharpened portion of the
blade. Same result in McMurrough v. State, 995 S.W.2d 944 (Tex. App.-Ft. Worth 1999).
(B) hand instrument designed to cut or stab another by being thrown;
Albert v. State, 659 S.W.2d 41 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 1983, pet. ref’d) Martial
arts throwing star qualifies as “a hand instrument designed to cut or stab another by being
thrown”.
(C) dagger including but not limited to a dirk, stiletto, and poniard;
Armendariz v. State, 396 S.W.2d 132 (Tex. Crim. App. 1965) A knife slightly over seven
inches in length when open, equipped with a double guard, blade that locks open and is
sharpened on both sides of blade for over an inch meets the definition of a dagger.
(D) bowie knife;
Mireles v. State, 192 S.W. 241 (Tex. Crim. App. 1917) A knife in a scabbard with a blade
nine inches long and a handle four or five inches long described as a butcher knife was
embraced in the term “bowie knife” as defined by the Penal Code.
(E) sword; or
(F) spear.
(7) “Knife” means any bladed hand instrument that is capable of inflicting serious
bodily injury or death by cutting or stabbing a person with the instrument.

WTF?!!? so does this mean, they measure the tang? so a cheapo hollow handle (with the old nut and bolt fixture) knife can have a 5" blade, but a full tang knife (like the Nimravus) w/a 4.5" blade gets measured back to the pommel? that's mind boglingly stupid.

as for the permit, a good indication is what it says on it. i can't find mine right now, but i believe FL's actually say "or" on them.
 
zignal zero, it doesn't mean back to the pommel, it means from the front of the bolster/handle to the tip. This includes both cutting edge and ricasso, not the tang. Picture that as penetration depth in a stab.
 
Oklahoma's Concealed Weapon Law is for handguns only.
But Oklahoma's knife laws are so reasonable, you do not need to worry about it. Just the usual stuff about switchblades, sword canes, etc. No blade length is mentioned.

SEE YA!

To the best of my knowledge in Alabama it only applies to a pistol.

It apparently also applies to revolvers not just pistols but I can never get a straight answer as to if your only allowed to carry one.
 
I just took my test to apply for a Concealed deadly weapon permit, last Saturday. (I passed)
Kentucky's is somewhat more extensive than many other states and we had to be in class for about 6 hours and take a written test, then qualify at the range by shooting at 7 yards, putting 11 hits in the black out of 20, on the standard close combat target. (easy, I stopped shooting my Glock 27 after 11)
This has benefits as our CCDW is recognized in 32 other states. We are allowed to carry automatic knives and any blade length, here in Ky. I had to pay 50 dollars to take the test and will have to pay another 60 to get my permit, when I get the papers from the State Police, but it's well worth it to me. Here's what we can carry in Ky., besides being able to carry handguns in all neighboring states, as well as 33 total.
