If he found out a few weeks ago it was legal, why the #**# was he even questioning you then????
Yet another fine example of total exercise of ego for no reason.
you guys all raise legitimate points, cops just need to be notified when laws are changed and need to do more research themselves as well.I carry a fixed blade from time to time. No problems here. I like having a small stout knife that I can use for rougher task and even food. If it's in kydex I usually carry IWB for convenience I'm not worried about it being seen but I've had issue with an exposed sheath catch on something when squatting down. Most of the time the fixed blade I carry is smaller than the steak knife at the restaurant. I've gotten compliments from the wait staff on my knives while eating steak. I think how you carry yourself has a lot to do with it. Of course like you said some people just don't know the law they're enforcing. Had that happen once while open carrying a pistol. I complied and was on my way in 10 minutes. After they ran my ID and all that fun stuff. He told me "I just found out this was legal a few weeks ago." Lucky me. Outside were 3 other cops waiting for me in case things didn't go so well.
Cops aren't lawyers and lawyers aren't cops.
You are in the Metropolitan New York City area.Here's a pro tip - nobody worries what a 70+ year old man is carrying on their belt anywhere. You are not the threat they are afraid of.
I did think of a number of exceptions after I posted that. Airports. Courthouses. Any place with metal detectors.You are in the Metropolitan New York City area.![]()
In Georgetown, about 30 miles north of Austin. Big enough town that it feels city like, but small enough to still have that small town personal feel to it. Nice people, edge of hill country, and nice river and lake fishing. Most of all, a really great coffee shop with hand baked cinnamon buns, and three gun shops to choose from.
But I have to go all the way down to Austin for a good Irish bar with Guinness on draft and good corned beef.
You were in Taylor, TX. Muellers BBQ is next door to Rudy Mikeska's, also good.Not to get off the topic but a good buddy lives and works in Austin. I was there for a conference a few years ago and he took me to a small town, I think North, to an old bbq place called Louie Muellers (I think). Holy smokes was that delicious!! And to stay on topic, I’ll bet they wouldn’t mind you using your 102 to cut up your food either![]()
I'd forgotten just how handy it was to take out knife, cut, put knife back in sheath. No opening, no folding up, just use. Way easier for old stiff fumble fingers to deal with. The knife is way easier to clean up after a messy job, just wash and wipe off and sheath. No joints to oil or hidden areas to worry about.
