A pocket knife is a concealed weapon? :pirate:

 

Cripes, kids sporting a jackknife in school was pretty common in days of yore. No Columbine stuff occurred, either.

 

No violent video games to blame back then either.

In most places I've lived, the standard was "anything with more than a three inch blade". If a cop tried to arrest me for carrying a pocket knife, I'd probably have to be tazered to stop laughing.

I believe by Federal law, you can't carry a stiletto. I have one, that I bought as a kid for something like 50 cents. I just measured the blade - 2 1/8 inch.

 

I also own a bayonet. It's a round one that fits onto a Mk. III Enfield .303 rifle. I don't own an Enfield. Bayonet lugs on rifles are now illegal, although I can't recall when a bayonetting was reported.

 

The 1968 CGA (Gun Control Law) restricted many things. Including mail-order firearms. I have a mail-order .410, and my local drug store where I grew up sold cartridges. Firearms were available to all, but somehow we muddled along without shooting each other.

 

Unlike today. Funny, that - when guns were more available, gun violence was less. Society sure changed over the years...

Agree ... my poor Uncle John is flipping in his grave. He thought it a right of passage to supply all of the young men in the family with their first pocket knife - along with a few lessons about how to properly sharpen and use the thing. I still have mine though I don't carry it around.

The only thing I can think of it is if you are in possession while intoxicated.
