Sooooo, I'm legal now? I didn't even know there was a law against such things. Apparently the cops who have frisked me didn't know either.

I am glad that this passed. It is good to be able to carry weapons legally.
That said, I highly doubt that this will impact anything. I still haven't seen two people open carrying handguns and that became legal two years ago. |

From the way I am reading the new amendments, they scratched out the illegal part and put the same restrictions on a >5.5" knife as a concealed handgun has without the licensing. Basically you can carry anywhere but where LTC's are prohibited. RIGHT??

Ask Mattfreo about that. I think he had a fair case for false arrest. The inability of any cop in particular to read/understand the law does not grant him probable cause to believe a crime is being or has been committed. |

So location restricted just means places with 30.06/30.07 or 51% signs, or places like schools?

I missed what happened to him and must have missed where that is written in the law. Can you show me? It doesn't specify one or the other. Carrying an "illegal knife" was just as lawful as carrying a concealed handgun under the same law that carved out the chl exemption. Cop arrested him anyways. My internet is shite right now so I won't bother to look up and copy/paste the relevant statutes. This was covered ad nauseum back when it happened, anyways. |

For me, the most obvious benefit is if I'm out in the country hunting or carrying an openly holstered pistol for defense from predators, and I have to run into town, I don't have to pull the pistol out and leave it under the seat. It's much safer in my holster. Quote HistoryQuoted:
