I cannot answer or even provide an opinion on the legal carry of sticks or some type of knuckles. What I do is carry, legal or not. In 20 some odd years of carrying weapons I have never been searched by an LE unless I was completely ****ing up. Bars and alcohol seem to bring back hazy memories. In all the cases the LE`s were justified in the search, but these were many years ago and times have changed alot. Fortunatly for me I had the sense not combine booze and weapons.
Understand, I don`t suggest to illegal carry of weapons (Firearms, Blades, Sticks ect.) but I do so myself. One must keep in mind that CW carry whether with permit or no, an individual has certain social responsablities. Just because you have the latest multi barrel gatling glock with 300 rounds locked and ready to rock does not mean traveling to locals YOU damn well know you should not be. Nor does it make you BAD. The same applies to blades. What it does, or should do is make a person extremaly cognizant that a simple exchange of cross words an otherwise minor street altercation could turn in to a killing.
An armed person has the choice to use deadly force or not. This is a choice that must be made wisely and sometime quickly. After the fact YOU will need to show that all possiable avenues of escape and opportunities to de-escalate the situation were thwarted or blocked by the number of assailants or the escalation of force shown by a single assailant to the point that deadly force is justified. A slap to the face does not justify response by driving 8" of cold steel in to the offender or double tapping him, unless you can demonstrate fear of your (or your family) life due size, strenght ect. of the attacker or attackers. And god help the poor bastard that has been drinking, druging or otherwise indulging in MAD`s prior to the altercation taking place.
I bring this up because most in this forum are concerned with self defense and self defense does not begin or end with the proficency of lethal force.
All this said I have put up with remarks to me or my wife that if a 1911 had not been tucked under a jacket I would have responded with fist or boot. From my own experiance I can tell of the great restraint and tolerance that is required carrying CW`s.
It better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Just make sure that the 12 judging you are convinced you were not looking for trouble.

(And even then, generally only to the user, given the 92's propensity to eject the entire slide into the shooter's forehead during recoil.

Shame on you, Megalobyte!!! You should know better! The 92 was chosen as the official sidearm for the US Armed forces, and has undergone LOTS of rigorous testing. It is also widely employed elsewhere in the world, and by countless LEO's around the US. It is a perfectly fine weapon.
