I know, I know. San Franciso:barf:. I'm going up north for a long weekend because I have realtives up there and I was wondering if it was legal to carry a 2.88 inch calypso jr. Anyone know?
[And no, I will not shank the bush man (You'll get it if you've been to San Fransisco)]
 
You'll be fine with your Caly Jr. anywhere in, or near SF. The only city close by that would be a problem is Fremont (2" limit).
 
Whoa, I used to EDC my Mini Manix, Endura 4 Wave & Mini Rukus when I worked in Fremont...
 
Do you have the link for this law? I travel to fremont all the time for in n out burgers.

Sec. 3-3104. Other dangerous weapons--Sale, use, or possession prohibited. This chapter further prohibits the sale, gift, loan, or furnishing of dangerous weapons to any person, and the use by or possession or control of dangerous weapons by any person.
(Sec. 5, Ord. 52.)

Sec. 3-3105. Same--Definition of "dangerous weapons"; exceptions.
"Dangerous weapons", as used in section 3-3104 of this Code, shall mean and include, but is not limited to: Any knife having a blade two inches or more in length, or any snap blade or spring blade regardless of the length of the blade; any ice pick or similar sharp stabbing tool; any straight edge razor, or any razor blade fitted to a handle; or any cutting, stabbing, or bludgeoning weapon or device capable of inflicting bodily harm. Nothing in section 3-3104 of this Code shall be deemed or construed to prohibit the possession or use by any person of a hunting knife carried in a sheath outside of the clothing while such person is engaged in lawful sport in which the use thereof is appropriate or going to or from such lawful sport; nor the possession or use of any item listed above, in connection with bona fide organized and supervised youth activities; nor the possession or use of any such instrument in lawful domestic or commercial pursuits.
(Ord. No. 52, § 4; Ord. No. 330, § 1.)

[my emphasis]

This is from: http://library1.municode.com/default/template.htm?view=document&doc_action=setHitDoc&doc_hit=1 which is not some random 3rd party or independent website which claims to have current info on laws, but is directly linked from the City of Fremont's official webpage, on this page here: http://www.ci.fremont.ca.us/CityHall/MunicipalCodes/default.htm
 
But the last parts says "Nothing in section 3-3104 of this Code shall be deemed or construed to prohibit . . . the possession or use of any such instrument in lawful domestic or commercial pursuits."
