I ALWAYS have a folding knife of sone sort on me clipped to the inside of my right pocket with the clip and rear inch or so exposed.
I DO NOT own any folders 3" or less. Is it the norm to ensure the knives I carry are 3 inches (blade length) or less for liability/legality? Thanks V OUT |

Some municipalities have length restrictions. From the legal FAQ tacked at the top of the forum:
"Local knife laws DEFINITELY NOT A COMPLETE LISTING The following cities/villages prohibit the carry of knives with blades 3" or longer: * Village of Bayside, ord. 62-266 * City of Milwaukee, ord. 105-34(2)(a), p. 587. * City of Racine, ord. 66-56 * City of South Milwaukee, ord. 24.16" Also, a knife could be seen as a weapon under the CCW statute. But IMO, that would be extremely unlikely unless you were caught committing some other crime and CCW of a knife was an 'add on'. I personally carry a knife that is just under 3". I travel into several of the above cities and a 2 3/4" - 2 7/8" blade works fine for me. |
