Quoted:
Do you see many folks carrying unconcealed in Arizona? or do you open carry? Is it legal to have,& carry a switch blade in your state? & what is the legal blade length for carry there?

You see people open carrying but not terribly often. Myself and some biker friends open carry sometimes when riding. It does seem to gain you a lil more respect from cage drivers. I've heard some folk say it's asking for trouble. I'm not sure I agree with that. I have my CCW and prefer to conceal when I can. At this time of year that can be difficult. When it's 110 degrees and I wanna jump on my Harley as I am today, I'm in 501s and a muscle shirt. Kinda hard to hide my glock 30 in this garb so it's slapped in my paddle holster and away we go.
Here ya go. Me in the summer on my Harley

Pocket knives may be carried out of sight without a permit but the Attorney General's opinion is that this only includes pocket knives with blades that do not exceed four inches in length. Arizona statutes do not address the issue of switchblades but, as a minimum, it is likely that the concealed carry of any switchblade with a blade longer than four inches would also require a concealed weapon permit.
They do sell switchblades here in the gunstores. I know the Outdoorsman in Mesa has them.
