Very few knife laws in my state. Autos, ballisongs and any knives whose primary purpose is a weapon are excluded, but anything else in any size is acceptable. They must be carried fully open or fully concealed, although I never heard of anyone busted because of a pocket clip showing. Common sense dictates where you can carry openly without attracting undue attention. It may be legal to carry a machete in a shopping mall, but you could expect a lot of conversations with security personnel or the law. Also, although state regulations are lenient, there are local ordnances that have to be considered. In some jurisdictions, there are restrictions about size or locking blades. In all the years I have been carrying knives, the only thing I was ever hassled about was my Boy Scout four blade Kamp King at a traffic stop. They said I resembled a suspect they were looking for, but I think the real reason was my car looked like a doper bustmobile (at the time, I didn’t even know what marijuana smelled like). The cop held it as if it were a dagger, or something. It was all I could do to keep from laughing, which under the circumstances would not have been wise. But nothing came of it, the knife was handed back and all ended well.
