Ok so the longest blade you can carry is 3" in Illinois? What do you guys/gals take when you go camping or hiking? Is it legal to have a fixed blade knife? Thanks http://www.knifeup.com/illinois-knife-law/ |

Her answer was that the only place (in state Statute) where blade length is addressed is what categorizes as a "dangerous knife" under Section {C} (2} of 720 ILCS 5/33A - the Armed Violence act while committing a felony. The act of carrying the knife itself is not included as an element of the Statute, it is what is known as an "aggravating factor"... and of course your local jurisdiction may have ordinances addressing blade length. |

Can I carry a hammer? If so, is there any size/weight hammer that is restricted? I'd carry it for utility purposes. Opening cans, tire knocking (checking for low pressure), hammering nails. At what size does a hammer become a "dangerous hammer"? That's about how dumb any knife law is. |
