Reading over the various threads about carry in FL, something occurred to me.
Given: Weapons cannot be carried into any "place of nuisance" which can be summed up as government buildings, schools, and bars.
Given: A "common pocketknife" is not a weapon.
Given: Regardless of CWP, a pocketknife can be carried concealed as long as it is a "common pocketknife."
The debate over what meets the definition of a "common pocketknife" is outside of this thread's scope.
My question is: can a common pocketknife be legally carried concealed in a place of nuisance given that it is not legally a weapon, and no permit is required to carry it concealed?
This is under the assumption that the location in question does not explicitly or implicitly restrict carry of a weapon in and of itself, such as a casual restaurant that serves alcohol (as opposed to say a school or courthouse where you KNOW you can't carry.)
