Minnesota Concealed Carry Law- What about knives?

[HUNTER3897]

I haven't been here for around 2 years, so I apologize if this has come up recently. I have a concealed carry permit for Minnesota. It only mentions pistols on the permit. Anybody know if I can can carry a fixed blade or automatic knife concealed? I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but if I'm "safe" enough to carry a gun, I would think a knife should be a no brainer. Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

I would think a knife should be a no brainer.

Unfortunately, logic, common sense, and laws aren't always on speaking terms. There's only a few states where the CCW permit encompases "weapons", not just firearms. I checked www.packing.org and it appears Minnesota isn't one of those states. No autos for you (or brass knuckles).

It appears that fixed blades are concealable though, which is somewhat a rarety. Balisongs are legal as well. No blade length limit.
