Knife Laws of the Fifty States: A Guide for the Law-Abiding Traveler

David Wong (Author)

Written for anyone who carries a knife, including travelers, hunters, fishermen, and those who carry pocket knives, Knife Laws of the Fifty States -- A Guide for the Law-Abiding Traveler covers the knife laws of all fifty states and the District of Columbia, and discusses the legal status of open carry, concealed carry, and off-limits locations for knife carry for a wide variety of knives, from folding pocket knives to fixed blades (including dirks, daggers, and stilettos) to automatics and balisongs. Both excerpts of relevant statutes and capsule summaries of knife-related case law are included for each state. In addition, the book covers municipal knife ordinances and regulations, which tend to be more restrictive than state law, for most major cities, including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Las Vegas, Denver, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Atlanta and many others.
