Pocket Knife
Do you consider a pocket knife to be a weapon?
I mean a folding knife with a blade no longer than 3 1/2 inches long. Why or why not?
Also, does law enforcement consider a folded pocket knife in your pocket to be a weapon?
Your typical pocket knife is a tool, no different than a screwdriver. Can you stick somebody with it? Sure but you can do the same thing with a screwdriver.
There are larger folding fighters that are designed as being a weapon however. In some states there is a maximum legal length that a folding knife blade can be.
I carry pocket knife everywhere. My pocket knife for work clothes is small and slim but is still a lock blade. Since I live on a ranch my jeans knife if a much larger and heavy duty knife. It has to take a lot of abuse so it needs to be large and well made.
I've carried a pocket knife for over 30 years, used one nearly every day but never cut or stabbed anybody with it. Does that sound like a tool or a weapon?
