Well this Maryland hick is traveling to Manhattan for my cousins wedding in September. We're renting a party bus and will most likely just be staying at the church and fire hall and returning to MD that night. I want to know if my peanut, Case Bose Tribal Spear and Victorinox alox pioneer will be okay to possess while we're in the big city. Like I said we will be going to the church, the fire hall and back to MD. Thanks for your input.
 
All 3 should be good as long as they're not visible unless being used. I've carried all 3 in the city but I've never been stopped while carrying one (or at all).
