That was funny....and even more so...some places carrying you CW is legal, and blades over a certain length, possibility be not legal.

That's one nice thing about my CCW, it allows me to carry anything; firearm, switchblade, knife, sword, brass knuckles, billy club, blackjack or attack ferret.

Youre lucky Kyrat! In ohio, a CCW only applies to handguns. Not long guns, knives, clubs, sprays or anything else.

Our CCW doesn't apply to knives either. I think that's a good thing since you can carry a knife without having a CCW. Very few laws here on knives.

Is that an attack ferret in your pocket?

Same down here. The main reason I originally got my CCW was because of Florida's knife law. The law simply read that carrying any knife other than a "common pocket knife" illegal. There was no definition of a common pocket knife. And, I have heard many law enforcement officers wrongly state the law as it applies to knives and guns. So, the officer gets to interpret the law first, then the prosecutor and finally a jury.

In 2001 Porter vs Florida it was found that a folding knife with a blade less than 4" is a common pocket knife. Unless "However, if the pocket knife has too many features, it might not be a “common pocket knife.” The case of F.R. vs State in 2012 found that 3 inch pocket knife with serrations, a notch grip, hilt guard, and locking mechanism does not count as a “common pocket knife.” "

With my CCW I can legally carry anything I have desired to carry so far. BTW, that pocket knife mention as having too many features I mentioned above. A SAK or a multi-tool would have been fine. Also, you can carry any knife designed for work, such as a boxcutter or razor knife concealed legally without a permit.

Now they have clarified that

[Rick]

Good heavens. You need a knife law pocket wheel just to keep track of what's legal and what's not.

I have a friend in Australia and it is illegal to carry any kind of knife unless you use it for work! And even then it better not look mean! Supposedly out in the bush you can pretty much carry any kind of knife as long as you don't get caught with it...........LOL Pretty strict laws there!
