Is it legal to carry a 4" fixed blade in NJ? Concealed or open?
Thanks

Hunting knives may be prohibited under two NJ laws: N.J.S. 2C:39-5d and/or N.J.S 2C:39e
N.J.S. 2C:39-5d. prohibits possession of any other weapon "...under circumstances not manifestly appropriate for such lawful uses it may have..." N.J.S 2C:39-e specifically prohibits gravity knives, switchblade knives, daggers,dirks,stilettos, razor knives imbedded in wood and ballistic knives"... without any explainable lawful purpose..." Clear now? |

The law is intent based and how bad the LEOs want to fuck you.
If you have a knife and for some random reason are searched you'll probably be okay., If you have a knife and you just threatened to beat someone's head in and are searched, well....you're fucked. Don't do stupid things and you won't have any issues. |

if you're going to get busted, wouldn't it be more fun to just have something like this?
you'll probably get treated the same either way. |
