That does suck. I don't get a lot of flack in Indiana as our knife laws are basically "no ninja stars", and to be honest, the discretion of LEO here tends to err on the side of not being too overly aggressive...at least to me a middle aged white guy.
I have used my Microtechs without a hassle. I usually go with an Ultratech if I am trying to be more discrete.
I did have a car salesman 16+ years ago flip out over my Vic Fireman. My future wife and I were looking at purchasing a used Honda Civic for our first car together. Some idiot at the lot had tied and trippled knotted balloons to the mirror. Our salesman did not have anything to cut the ribbon with (and was also missing one of his arms), so I pulled out the Vic and used the blunt, curved, serrated blade that is specifically included on the knife to cut straps safely to gently get under the knot and sever the ribbon.
The guy got wide eyed, "whoooa, is that from your ghetto days?" Really? I guess I should have asked him if his hook hand resulted from his days privateering in the Royal Navy.
He would have really freaked out if he had caught a glimpse of the 12" khukuri on my belt that was under my over shirt
We're kind of spoiled here in Indiana, what with our relatively abundant individual liberty compared to many other states and most of the rest of the world. When someone on here talks about being hassled for carrying a knife, I have to use my vivid imagination to try to relate to them and be sympathetic.
I've never carried a khukri before, but I have neck carried a Kershaw Outcast and an ESEE Junglas under my shirt before and no one knew until I chose to share.
), which were actually racist by intent and in effect, as opposed to 99.999% of the things and people labeled as "racist" in our current beleaguered culture. People who are active in securing and restoring gun and knife rights have known this (and documented it) since long before everything became "racist."
geeze man!
