Trouble for carrying a too large knife?

[lovemachine]

I created this thread earlier...https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo..._new_knife_now_concealed_means_concealed.html

I wanted to create this thread here, since it involves carrying.

Let's say you're carrying a knife that was around 4 inches. The city you're in has a law that says 3.5 inches. You find yourself in a situation where you need to protect yourself with said knife.

What kind of trouble are you in? Is it a felony, misdemeanor? What kind of trouble are you in for carrying a larger knife than what you're suppose to?

My community doesn't have such a prohibition, but I would assume that it would be an ordinance violation in the town you're mentioning. You'd be looking at a fine. I highly doubt an officer will bother to mess with it though. That's just my opinion...

You'll go to prison and get raped a lot.




(I'll take that Spyderco off yer hands for $20 so you won't get into trouble with it.)

It is a fine.

Have you watched Office Space recently, ATM?

Whoever would fine/arrest you for defending yourself would be a disgrace to the republic and a betrayer of the 2nd Amendment, morally on the same page as the attacker.

There, I said it.
