I live in seaside CA which is in Monterey county. I recently have been doing research on knife laws in the state, then i looked up the municipal codes...crap.
here is the link:http://bpc.iserver.net/codes/monterey/index.htm then click peace safety and morals>> then click weapons
it says " No person shall carry concealed upon his person or carry within any
vehicle which is under his control or direction, any knife with a blade three inches or more in length"
If i were to get stopped by the local pd this law and not the state law would be in affect correct?
Is the pocket clip exposed considered open carry ?
If it is more than three inches then exposed from the pocket by pocket clip will I be ok?
also if there is absolutely no concealment of any fixed blade at all no matter the size even 2 inch or smaller what is considered open in terms of a fixed blade does the entire knife have to be openly carried, a small portion of the handle, 1 inch of the sheath or anything like that. can someone tell me the clear definition of open carry?
thanks for your help
