Knight Length in Arizona
« on: March 06, 2011, 10:51:56 PM »
I'm trying to find out what is the maximum knife length that you can carry concealed with you in arizona. As far as I know if it's not concealed you can carry what ever you want, but the only thing I was able to find for concealed is that it has to be a pocket knife. I have no idea what is the official meaning of a pocket knife.

Any help will be appreciated.

thanks

Use to be that it had to have a non-locking folding blade that was no longer then the width of your palm to be considered a pocket knife.

This ordinance must be outdated since it is now legal to carry a concealed weapon, unless the new law only pertains to firearms.

That's for the court, I don't speak lawyer. Thanks though.

I just don't know how you'll get one of these in your pocket anyway.



 :neener:

Yeah it doesn't appear to define pocket knife.  You'd just have to feel comfortable that is it more pocket knife than "deadly weapon"  (whatever that means).

Here in Kansas, blade limit is 4", no knives that are deployed by push of button activating sping or push of button allowing gravity to deploy (paraphrasing here).  As far as I understand, assisted open are still legal, and I carry one.

Is the knife considered concealed if it's in the car?

Again, varies state to state.

Yeah but I don't want it for people, I want it as a tool.

As a tool for what?  Just day to day activities?  Are you wanting to carry like a bowie knife or what?

Updated my post above. Would the new law allowing concealed carry only apply to firearms?

If not I'd say you can carry any knife thats legal to own.

Just for day to day activity. Open a watch, open a bottle, open an MRE bag (thous are hard to open), ect...

I can't imagine you would NEED a large knife for those tasks, nor would it really be practical.

Also, is opening watches a daily activity for you?

No I don't need a large knife, but I don't want a 2in knife either. I'm pretty sure I don't want anything more than ~4.5in.

No lol, it's just that the battery in my watch died and I spend a week looking for my knife. No luck.
