It's legal in NH even if you do get caught .
This state quit regulating knives completely a couple years ago .
Hey Texas, welcome to "Free America", now you just need to get rid of that stupid "3006" law.  ;D

Yeah, and what the hell was up with that? I could carry a Glock, but a switchblade was just too dangerous? Are they still afraid of James Dean? ;D

I was reading up on Michigan ccw for reciprocity, and came across a restriction on double edged blades or boot knives. Apparently that second edge makes the knife too dangerous for the public. Pistols are still ok with a permit to purchase and a permit to carry.  ::)

"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
- Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776

Jeebus! You'd think they would be required. "Remember the Alamo" and all that. ???

If the law was no carrying a knife with foot long blade, or no swords, I would be okay with that. Most hunting knives I like have 5"-7.5" blades. I can't carry any of my fixed blade knives or most of my folders either. The township I live next to has a ban on anything over 3" and I go there all the time. I was in a car wreck there and had a knife in my front pocket with the clip on the edge of my pocket. The cop asked me if that was a knife and when I said yes he made me take it out. The blade was 4" long so he stuck it in a crack in the curb and told me to kick the knife. The blade broke into 3 pieces. If I didn't destroy a practically new knife I'd most likely have to go to jail. So I was out $150 or $200 or whatever it was, and when I tried to buy a replacement for it they were out of production.

By state law I also can't carry a double-edge fixed-blade knife even if the blade is only an inch long. If I had a double-edge folding knife I could carry it if the blade wasn't too long, but I wouldn't count on the cops knowing that. They don't seem to know much about the law. We have a switchblade law too so no one can carry one unless they only have one hand. Maybe we can get that changed some day.

Why would you be ok with outlawing blades over a certain length?  No one needs a blade over 10"?  I am quite sure that an argument could be made that a bad man armed with a machete is a lot less of a threat than a bad man with a pistol with a 13 round magazine.  Who needs a magazine over 5 rounds anyway?
