I believe concealed carry laws differ between states... also you may have difficulty concealing a sword...

How the hell are you going to conceal carry a sword? Anyway, it depends on the state. Here in CA you can't conceal carry any fixed blade over 3".

Do you want to conceal carry or just carry? You asked two different things.

Probably not. In TN, the law was the blade had to be 6 inches or shorter.

In Florida you can only conceal a blade deemed a "common pocket knife". Which is far to vague and subjective for my liking.

Folding and fixed blade knives typically have different laws though.

Just open carry. If a cop tries to start with you just slice his bullets in half.

Yeah well they are all deadly anyways. The Romans had a saying: "It only takes an inch to kill a man." Meaning you only needed an inch of steel to peirce thier vital organs. ;)

Ok? You can just as easily kill someone with a ball point pen. What's it have to do with this thread?

What's the point of having limits on knifes if a 1 inch blade is considered a deadly weapon?

I think the laws are designed with the wildlife in mind. For example, Tennessee has bears, coyotes, and a even a few cougars. On top of that, that state has a lot of country land. So, a 6 inch blade would come in handy.

It's funny I used to work produce and carried around a produce knife in a sheath on my belt.

produceknife

They looked like this. Anyways I'd get off work and forget I had it on me and walk into the Casino to cash my checks. I was surrounded by like 6 security guards and escorted outside. Another time I got in trouble for wearing it in a bar. :lol:

Then I assume they are all dead? A true warrior would never allow themselves to be accosted simply by fools such as that. Unless you are fool yourself carrying around such a weapon with no knowledge of how to use it. If this is the case then perhaps you would be better suited with a child's toy.

Underestimate the danger of produce and it will be your undoing.

If you're that close to an angry bear or coyote then you're probably f*cked, to be honest. (That close to a cougar and you're likely f*cked in an entirely different way.)

Actually, there are stories of people killing bears with a knife. I don't know what you mean about that last part, though.

- Hence why I said "probably", not "certainly".

- I'll explain it to you when you're older son.
