I carry what I want, and whatever length I want, knife, pistol, 8 inch barrel revolver, etc (ok ok I only carried the .41 mag twice and it nearly pulled my shorts off, I was trying for the Hawaiian shirt style of concealment, in my attempt to be magnum PI I almost pants'd myself). I'm not quite as bad ass as Rat Finkenstein with the AK47 carry. My uncle lives in MN also.
There are no restrictions in my state on autos (Georgia), but there is a stipulation, any weapon used for unlawful intent is illegal. Any weapon carried concealed with deadly intent is illegal. So don't do anything illegal with a weapon or something that can be used as a weapon. I never flash my knife around as a matter of principle. If I'm in an appropriate non public setting and someone wants to see it, ok, but I'm not going to volunteer use of my knife in public. Aside from the fact that people grubby them up and use them for something not knife friendly usually.
