Carry it open on you belt. Do not let it disappear under your shirt or coat. I carried a folding knife for years, for various reasons. I would get one of those, since you can carry that type in your pocket. No switchblade, or gravity knife, but a thumb knife is fast and legal.


Mrs_Jester
as long as it is visible, it is perfectly legal

If you were my kid? No

However it depends on your local laws, and how it's carried.

I guess. Probably not a good idea. Airport security will freak out if you try to take it on a plane....

i like to carry a pocket knife and a lighter all the time too. I live in a very bad end of a very bad city.
You can't take them to skool. Or they will suspend you.

Why you do want a knife anyway. Here in the UK it is illegal and despite your age you could get a prison sentence. If you live in the UK you can see how many young lives are lost with people carrying these weapons.
I suggest you get some common sense and get rid of it before you get into deep water with it. That would be the most sensible thing to do.
I wonder if your parents' know about you carrying this, if they do then they are very irresponsible, if they don't then think what an impact it would have on them if you were caught with it, used it, or someone somehow used it on you.
Get rid of it please.

It's really going to depend on states and local laws. On top of this, some places like airports, concert venues, schools, and many other institutions don't have to respect any right to carry a weapon.

Yes, very illegal but most police if they see it will just take it from you.
