I EDC a CRKT MyTighe 1091K. I have carried it since the day I got it (about 6months ago) and have never had any problems with it. Today I was in line at a grocery store and there was a cop in line behind me. He noticed the kniofe clipped in my back pocket next to my wallet and asked to see it. I showed it to him and he seemed VERY interested in it. He later went on to discuss that is an illegal knife to carry but wouldn't do anything about it as long as I stopped carrying it.
The thing is, I know it is NOT illegal. Blade is less than 5.5". It is single edged. Everything about it complies with the state laws. I purchased it at House Of Blades (I'm sure some of you have heard of it) and they assured me several times that it is in fact legal to carry.
What I need your help with is finding a copy of State Laws that I can print out and keep in my wallet in case any grumpy Officers try and confiscate it from me. I have googled several different phrases and all I'm finding are referrences to the laws and explanations. What I'm looking for is the word fo word regulation straight out of the penal code. I want something that an Officer can't fight with. If I print out a thread from bladeforums which simply lists the laws, I doubt an Officer would really believe it. I guess you could say, I'm looking for something admissable in a court of law.
THANK YOU for any help you may have to offer
I posted this at bladeforums.com as well but I am asking here to get as much help as possible
