neil82 1,066 Posted August 7 Report Share Posted August 7 For anything with a fixed or locking blade you have to have "good reason" to be carrying it, same with anything with a blade over (I think) 3", for the guy who got done for a swiss army knife in his glovebox, there must be more to that story. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He had no previous convictions. I don't know whether you have them over in the states Wolfdog but a Swiss army knife is a small multi-tool with a tiny blade. I've bought them for my grandchildren. O yeah swiss army knifes are a thing here, big following in a lot of circles. More something you'd give you kid though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

'Normal' people in cities wouldn't be carrying a blade because they have no need to, the same as bankers in wall street don't. It's nothing to do with 'worth a shot', it's to do with life circumstances and job roles, that's why in the eyes of the law here you can carry if its justified.
