All I know about knives is that I use them in the kitchen, don't bring a knife to a gun fight, the 30 foot rule, and you cut away from yourself. That's from Cub Scouts right?
After September 1, anyone can carry a spear, sword, machete, or Bowie knife in public, with the exception of the places we currently can't LTC. Right?
Businesses will have to put up another sign, if they want to keep Conan the Barbarian types outside.
Does it have to be open carry, or can you conceal carry any knife?
When I was six, I always thought Zorro was a cool guy. But then there is that pesky, don't bring a knife gunfight thing. Katanas are still really cool, but in the Last Samurai, they all died as well.
Its easy to go to the range and practice. Hard to practice and get good with a knife or sword.
What about collapseable battons, are they legal yet?
And there was an overpowering need for this bill because? Freedom? Memory of Jim Bowie?
From what I gather you can't carry a LCR knife into a hospital, church, nursing facility, etc. You can carry a firearm into those places unless posted. So, LCR knife seems to be more restricted. Correct me if I am wrong. This doesn't address batons and the legality of carry with a LTC and a gun is still debated.
