Fixed blade in the trunk in NY?

[hwyhobo]

I have a 6" hiking knife stuck in my car between my seat and the center armrest. Only the handle is sticking out. I had a cop comment on it once (he was standing on a sidewalk when I was getting out, and he noticed the blade). I told him I hike quite a bit, and I always have a knife with me. That's where I keep it, so it's handy. He seemed perfectly satisfied with my answer. We exchanged pleasantries, and I went on about my business.

I have accidentally cut myself before I am far from careless when it comes to knives. Secondly, if you read the second half of my post I already answered this comment (please note that you didn't quote the already available retort to your statement...).

Yes the person has himself to blame for knocking the knife off the table (whether it be due to carelessness or not), but the reason knives (and other weapons) are dangerous is, if it had been a book lying on the table, instead of the knife, the WORST injury (and this assuming War and Peace is the book that falls - ie: an extremely large and heavy book) you'll have is a broken toe, however with the knife falling you can slice veins, cut tendons and ligaments from having a basic accident that could happen to anyone. And that is why I stick to the belief that knives, by themselves, can be and therefore are, dangerous.

Are computers dangerous? I was moving a box and I forced it into a space, causing the 35 pound Gateway 2000 clunker to fall forward and gash my foot wide open. Was the computer dangerous? No. Was I careless? Yes, as I had no shoes on and wasn't watching carefully.
You should rethink your argument.
