While Knife Rights' Knife Check worked great at Donald Trump's NRA Annual Meeting appearance, we can't follow all the candidates around the nation doing knife checks. If your try to enter a presidential or vice-presidential rally with a knife (or almost anything metal except for car keys), it will be confiscated or you will be turned away!

At many of these rallies, hundreds of attendees are losing their knives. Nationwide, thousands of knives have been confiscated! In most instances, once confiscated you'll not be given the opportunity to reclaim your knife. Leave your knife at home or in your car.

We were reminded of this by an article about 200 knives confiscated at a rally in Prescott Valley, Arizona. In this case, kudos go to the Prescott Valley Police Department who are allowing folks to claim their knives. Again, in most cases, once your knife is confiscated, it is gone for good!

To me, this is kind of a no brainer. Weapons around presidential candidates or just notable politicians in general is usually disliked by security details. Sadly, many dumb people view knives as weapons first, tools second.
 
Foolish people do foolish things. "A fool and his money (knives) are soon parted"
 
Thanks for the warning, Doug. Chances that I will be at a presidential candidate's rally = 0%.
 
Seriously, it should have been obvious to people for the past several years that you don't carry a knife into political rallies, concerts, sporting events, major amusement parks, courthouses, or onto airplanes. Whether we believe it to be unjust, stupid or whatever, that's the way it has been for sometime.

I'd never take myself to presidential candidates rally, unless it was one for Hillary so I could kick her.
 
following places i never take a knife:
going to a concert
going to a game
going to airport (unless international travel then i check it in with luggage)
going to any governmental building
going to hospital
