Spokane,WA laws??

[(jeff)]

This is my first post, but I have been browsing these forums for at least a year or more.

I live in Moscow,ID, and I have talked to a few different police officers, as well as a lawyer, in regards to weapon laws. They all told me the same thing, that I can legally carry just about whatever I want, (switchblades, batons, balis, whatever), as long as it isn't concealed. They also said that there isn't a law limiting blade length. Now this is all fine and dandy here, but once in a great while I find myself in other cities that are close by, mainly Pullman/Spokane Washington, and Courdalane,ID. I have looked alot online, and have not found much of anything regarding laws in those places.

I would like to carry a CRKT M16, with a blade length of 3.56" I believe, and a small, pocket sized pepper spray. Would that be legal?

If anyone offers help, I would greatly appreciate it. And yes, I HAVE actually looked for these laws, but have come up pretty much empty handed.

Thank you very much.

I've seen that before, and it really doesn't help me at all.

It says something about the limit in Seattle being 3.5", but it says nothing about Spokane.

I haven't found anything that sets a blade length for Spokane. You can find the Municipal codes here

As you pointed out, Seattle does have a 3.5 inch limit and i read earlier that Kennewick has a 4 inch limit.

I can't find anything about blade lengths. In general, carrying a knife that is 3.5" or shorter is legal in most places, right?

Yeah should should be fine with a 3.5. It's a folder right? As long as your not doing anything dumb with it or robbing a place you should be fine. Just be sensible.
