I have to go to S.C. soon for work from Ga. Can anybody outline the states blade restrictions for me???
 
South Carolina - 16-23-460. Carrying concealed weapons... Any
person carrying a dirk, slingshot, metal knuckles, razor
or other deadly weapon usually used for the infliction of
personal injury concealed about his person shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor, shall forfeit to the county or... to the
municipality the weapon so carried concealed an fined...
or imprisoned... [exempt person's own premises and peace
officers].
- 16-23-430. Carrying weapons on school property. It shall be
unlawful for any person [except officials] to carry on his
person, while on any elementary or secondary school
property, a knife, with a blade over two inches long... or
any other type of weapon, device, or object which may be
used to inflict bodily injury or death... a felony.
 
South Carolina

SECTION 16-23-405 Definition of "weapon"; confiscation and disposition of weapons used in commission or in furtherance of crime.


(1) Except for the provisions relating to rifles and shotguns in Section 16-23-460, as used in this chapter, 'weapon' means firearm (rifle, shotgun, pistol, or similar device that propels a projectile through the energy of an explosive), a knife with a blade over two inches long, a blackjack, a metal pipe or pole, or any other type of device or object which may be used to inflict bodily injury or death.
 
Thanks! So any of my knives would be o.k. as long as thier not "concealed" ? sounds like Ga. law.
 
Just for clarification... In Southern Cal. it would be illegal to carry a fixed blade knife w/ a blade over 2" (like the CRKT Ryan Plan B whose blade is just under 3") if it is concealed but it is o.k. to carry a knife whose blade is over 2" if it is not concealed? Is that right?


But we are allowed to carry a folding knife (like the CRKT m16) concealed correct?

Thanks! :)
