Been thinking of getting a Benchmade Auto Stryker. Autos are legal in NC (i believe!), but as they can't be sold over state lines, vendors like bladehq are out.
Anyone know of a dealer in NC? |

Quantico tactical sells autos to mil/le
I buy all my knives from the knife connection or knifeworks |

You will find the only reference to knife size in the concealed weapon statute.
A fixed blade has no size limit by NC statute but will get you a CCW charge if covered. If you want to understand NC lawsI urge you to get this book. North Carolina Crimes: A Guidebook on the Elements of Crime Published by University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Institute of Government. the latest edition is 2007 You can find it on amazon http://www.amazon.com/North-Carolina.../dp/1560112611 Or directly from the institute of government http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c....t.A/id.1131/.f Police are trained on these book, it has relevant case law, and breaks each law down into its elements. The Magistrate and the DA will have a copy on their desks. the NCGS says 14 269.2. Weapons on campus or other educational property. (a) The following definitions apply to this section: (1) Educational property. – Any school building or bus, school campus, grounds, recreational area, athletic field, or other property owned, used, or operated by any board of education or school board of trustees, or directors for the administration of any school. (1a) Employee. – A person employed by a local board of education or school whether the person is an adult or a minor. (1b) School. – A public or private school, community college, college, or university. (2) Student. – A person enrolled in a school or a person who has been suspended or expelled within the last five years from a school, whether the person is an adult or a minor. (3) Switchblade knife. – A knife containing a blade that opens automatically by the release of a spring or a similar contrivance. So you cant have one on school grounds. NCGS says 14 269.6. Possession and sale of spring loaded projectile knives prohibited. (a) On and after October 1, 1986, it shall be unlawful for any person including law enforcement officers of the State, or of any county, city, or town to possess, offer for sale, hold for sale, sell, give, loan, deliver, transport, manufacture or go armed with any spring loaded projectile knife, a ballistic knife, or any weapon of similar character. Except that it shall be lawful for a law enforcement agency to possess such weapons solely for evidentiary, education or training purposes. (b) Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. (1985 (Reg. Sess., 1986), c. 810, s. 1; 1993, c. 539, s. 167; 1994, Ex. Sess., c. 24, s. 14(c).) This law is exclusively for the projectile knives that were on the marked 20 years ago. It was never intended for switch blades. Go to the Source. North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 14 http://ftp.legislature.state.nc.us/e...hapter_14.html It is not currently Illegal in NC to buy or sell these knives. G.S.14 269. Carrying concealed weapons (d) This section does not apply to an ordinary pocket knife carried in a closed position. As used in this section, "ordinary pocket knife" means a small knife, designed for carrying in a pocket or purse, that has its cutting edge and point entirely enclosed by its handle, and that may not be opened by a throwing, explosive, or spring action So while legal to buy or possess getting caught carrying one can get you a Concealed weapon charge. Fed law MAY prohibit automatic knives, so don't get picked up by the feds. NOI |
