I brought my Pingo to NYC.
It was totally concealed in my cargo pocket and did not print.
While I was in NYC I asked a couple cops on the general consensus of knife laws.
I got the impression that the regular beat cops do not want to be bothered harassing law abiding people.
I seem to recall him say that locking knives are illegal.
I wasn't about to pull out my Pingo to demonstrate that it was a slip joint and not a lock back.
By what the cop said I think it would have passed muster.
I also recall him saying that all knives must be concealed.
He said that by having a knife clip showing in plain sight can escalate tensions among criminal types. (or something to that effect)
I hate to admit it but I can see his point. (pardon the pun)
Anyway, it was a great trip to the city.
I walked over 60 blocks total which was what I had planned. I walked from the West Village to SOHO and up Broadway to Times Square. Next time I will spend more time in the diamond district because it is so fascinating.
It was a warm day and I drank lots of Gatoraid and water. I was in the city for about 6 hours and managed to urinate 5 times from the excessive hydration.
I avoided the occasional shady character and felt pretty safe.
Manhattan is locked down pretty good and I can not imagine too many violent crimes happening during daylight hours.
Good Times.
