i just turned 17 and have a kershaw leek, i am worried that i can get arrested for owning one so i am thinking of getting a kershaw scallion because i like the feel of the leeks speedsafe and design, so i thought a step down would be just as good. with this knife can i still get arrested and charged, even if i dont use it or anything, just carrying it around? will it improve or harm my chances of getting arrested if i use the pocket clip, making the knife visible, is this considered open carry? the knife is around 2 inches, so its not a big knife. i know all the things about keeping them well away from government buildings and schools, i am also not going to a place where there is children, i like to carry it whenever im driving, just incase i need to get out of the seatbelt if it stuck. can i carry this knife in public places such as to a mall, or in public in general? if the cop can see it, does that mean it is concealed or open, such as when it is clipped to the pocket. i remember somewhere it said the knife has to be smaller then 3 inches, but it didnt have an age limit. i also want to know if the speedsafe is legal. im not afraid that i will pull it out on someone, or someone will freak out because i have it, i am just worried that the cops will frisk me and find it on me, then arrest me. i dont have a job so i am not going to open boxes or anything, and am most likely not going to pull it out in public.
