From what I understand any blade over 3" is illegal and no knife shall be concealed?

Any info would be great...
Thanks,
Paul

BTT for some clarification..
no differentiation between folder and fixed?
either way, >3'' concealed is illegal?
how about open carry (fixed blade in sheath on belt etc)?

thanks!
 
thats why i left that state and never looked back .. try getting a concealed carry permit (wonnsocket).. it was hard as hell ...so much for being able to protect yourself and family ..

it took 3 interviews with the local police chief to get it ....

oh yeah here in alaska i dont need the CCP to carry concealed here .. i love this state !
