fixed or folder?

As I understand it, many state laws exempt folders carried in the Closed position from concealed weapons laws, as they are not considered readily available for use as weapons. Carrying a folder in the locked and open position would be interpreted the same as carrying a fixed blade. These restrictions of fixed blade carry are ridiculous, imo, and reflect a lack of understanding on the part of lawmakers.
Nonetheless, carrying a folder in an open and locked position is kind of strange. Why not carry a fixed blade instead? Your legal consequences will still be the same.

It's still a folder.
Is this a trick question?
Did I win anything?
If you're talking about when you get picked up as a criminal, I believe it will be frowned upon, and considered as an indicator of a predisposition for seeking trouble.

In Mass any device which allows you to draw a folder in the open position is illegal. I assume this applies to Gerber and MOD sheaths which allow either folded or open carry. Oddly though, there is no law I can find against carrying a fixed blade. Not that LEO's appreciate the public doing it, but if it's not illegal, why not just carry a fixed blade.

It is not the fall that kills you. It is the realization that "yes, you did something that stupid."
