They're legal in KY if you have your CCW. KY has a concealed deadly weapon permit compared to a concealed carry gun permit. So as long as you have it you can carry any weapon like knives numchucks brass knuckles switchblades etc....

They are illegal to carry in WV, they are considered a concealed weapon that is not covered on our CCW.WV concealed weapons permit only covers pistol/revolver.

Brass nucks are illeagle to carry in most states, but a roll of dimes work just as well and they don't leave tell tale marks. If you have to use them bust the roll put the dimes in your pocket and throw the wrapper away.

Sap Gloves. Work just as well, and, since not many cops carry them anymore, wouldn't even be noticed by most (unless you run into an oldschool cop) [:D]

I got a pair of brass knucles that is a belt buckle. I used to wear it on a large lether belt , when people saw it they would walk the other way. That was years ago when I was nuts , im old now and know better.

My buddy actually welded up some with his wire welder and some re-bar.  Ugly as hell, but man would they hurt.  I'd rather be hit with regular old school brass knuckles!
I have one of those trench knives (WW1 style) that works pretty good.  If you would remove the blade and grind down the hand guard a little they would just be brass knuckles.  You can find ones like mine in most knife sales magazines.

I also reccomend the SAP gloves, I still have mine, and they are not considered a weapon at all, you can easily buy a pair off the rack at my usual gunstore haunt. nothing like Birdshot in the knuckles to get your point across.

pretty warm too. [:D]

Illegal to carry concealed in GA.  No prohibition on owning them.  Use to be a cop and I never saw a use for them... cops used blackjack, sap or Kel-Light they provided the proper motivation.  Brass knuckles on a civilian may get the owner shot...

This is the belt buckle I've been wearing since 1973.
I've gone through dozens of airports (international), & courthouses with the them. It does set the detectors off sometimes, when they grab the hand held wand (as I "check around for more change"), & zero in on the buckle - I lift up my shirt, & 95% of the time the operator says "OH - it's just your belt buckle, that happens sometimes - go ahead."
Two, or three times a guard has asked me to remove the belt, & put it in the tray - I do, & not one has ever recognized it for what it is..... [u]so far[/u].

I can't explain how useful the things are, at first you keep forgetting that you've got a knife on you. I've used the hell out of this thing (I must have opened a thousand cans with it, while hunting), I don't think you can wear them out!
Anyway, it's a great little company, about 5 years ago I accidentally dropped the original one about 30 feet onto a ceramic floor. After I found out they were still in business I sent it back, & instead of a bill - they returned it with an apology! Said they made them out of 465 R SS at first, & they were a little too brittle (they're made of 440 now).
Not a lot of people seem to know about them (guess that's why I've lucked out so long), or dismiss them as useless if they do see one.
They're like microwaves though, you don't know how much you rely on them until you manage loose, or break one.
I don't know about the legality, & I don't care (They're made to be used as a "thrust dagger").
