walk into the store with the knife in hand
This would not be wise, as that act would likely constitute "brandishing".
Ordinary pocket knives and hunting knives are not concealed deadly weapons in KY for purposed of the concealed carry statute.
Do you have a basis for believing that an auto is not an ordinary pocket knife? If the auto knife is "an pocket knife", you may conceal it without a license.
In my view, if the knife were clipped in the pocket with a portion of the knife visible, it would not be concealed. The courts seem to share that view, stating:
"In Delk v. Commonwealth, Ky. 344 S.W.2d 832 (1961), the court held that '[t]he concealment must be such as to prevent persons from seeing the weapon whose vision is not obscured by the carrier’s person or by anything other than the covering used to conceal it.' Id. at 833. In Prince v.Commonwealth, Ky. 277 S.W.2d 470 (1955), the court stated that a weapon is concealed when it is placed in a manner that it cannot readily be seen under ordinary observation. Id. at 472."
Your best bet would be to get a concealed deadly weapons license. But short of that, a knife clipped inside a pocket with a portion of the knife in plain view would not be "concealed".
This is just my opinion, and its how I would ride if I did not have a concealed carry license.
Irrespective of all of this, a peace office may give you a hard time even if you are obeying the law. But the alternative is to go through life as a scaredy cat, and thats even worse.
This is not legal advice.![]()
Do all states that offer concealed weapons permits offer ones for knives as well as firearms? I've never really wanted to open carry anything because I feel like it paints a target on my back.
an obviously identifiable portion of the item should be visible.
