Return to “Knife Carry Questions”
That is silly. If you want to make a counterpoint then do so. The hit and run comments without bothering to even state the issue is getting old.victory wrote:You sound like OCT.EEllis wrote:I don't see a major benefit to carrying one canceled because even lifting a shirt slows you down
Not to mention the OP specifically mentioned locations where he couldn't carry under his CHL.

However, as has been discussed here, I don't think it's been tested in the courts yet and us law abiding don't want to be the test case.
RoyGBiv, that sure is an interesting setup. I think if I did something like that I might not opt for a knife with as curved a handle, but that looks doable.

Unless you expand on that it really means nothing. Do you know of a legal fixed blade knife that is measurable better than a folder when CC or is there some other point you are trying to make?The Rooster wrote:Let's hope the UBG who want to disarm us have the same blind spot.EEllis wrote:Now I'm speaking of fixed knives in plain view because I don't know of any that are good for CC.
