Hi Forumites,
I'm new here in BladeForums, my question is what is the law regarding carrying folders in Alabama..I have a CS Voyager Medium, Spyderco Delica and my newest acquisition a Buck 110. Are all these folders legal to carry? I work in a Telecom Business and I'm always on the road.

Thanks

Section 13A-11-50
Carrying concealed weapons
.
Except as otherwise provided in this Code, a person who carries concealed about his person a bowie knife or knife or instrument of like kind or description or a pistol or firearm of any other kind or an air gun shall, on conviction, be fined not less than $50.00 nor more than $500.00, and may also be imprisoned in the county jail or sentenced to hard labor for the county for not more than six months.


It only mentions that you cannot conceal what they define as 'bowie-knives'.

"A 'bowie knife' ordinarily designates a long knife shaped
like a dagger, but having only one edge, and does not
include a knife which opens and shuts and is not too large
to be carried in a trouser's pocket..." (1985)
