I just picked up this nice ka-bar impact knife.
I thoroughly read through my states laws and I think that carrying that is aloud.
I also read and fully understand when a weapon should be used: If I'm in immediate danger of being killed. Its all about surviving.

-I'm 16
-I'm not a punk and I don't start or encourage fights.
-I understand how to avoid fights, I do quite often and I know that running away from a situation, if possible, is the best solution
Now comes the question, Do you think its safe, and legal (again, I did my research, I think it is, but I could be wrong) for me to carry a knife?
An aussie who doesn't understand why we carry knives!!!! ahahahahahahahahahahahahah.mcminty wrote:

In my opinion, no 'civillain' should be allowed to carry around a weapon. Especially knives.Jesus christ. Your knife is based off a combat knife. A COMBAT KNIFE!The KA-BAR is a 12-inch fighting and utility knife (7 inches making up the blade) first used by the US Marines in World War II, and carried into battle by generations of Marines since that conflict.
I don't get your country...
It's a useful tool, no matter what your trade. While I would disagree with his particular choice of knife, I use mine everyday. Hell, that's why I have so many. Different tools for different situations.Dimeyard wrote:

You would never be allowed to do that in sweden, unless you needed a knife in your daily work, such as a carpet knife or something.
Better that than beaten to death.Parker wrote:

Turquoise, I think the handgun death rate in Baltimore and D.C. has more to do w/those places being f- ghettos & having a high concentration of poor people living in an area w/no industry other than the drug trade. Have you been to SE D.C. or Baltimore? (The house flipping, urban renewal trend didn't stop at the stop light in front of the row houses there for safety reasons). The poverty & the drug trade creates the violence in those places, not the lack of licensed guns. Texas is far less urban & a far larger place by comparison. In the two largest urban areas, Dallas (where I live now) & Houston, there is quite a bit of crime. Both cities rank in the top 20 in the 2005 national crime rate statistics. They haven't outlawed guns in Detroit & St. Louis, but those cities aren't any safer either as they ranked 2 & 3 in crime. For the Northern cities it's a consequence of industry & economic prosperity moving from North to South. People left in those areas gotta eat & they wanna live the good life too & they'll use a gun if it's available.Turquoise wrote:
For example, DC doesn't allow non-law enforcement civilians to have handguns anywhere within the city limits, and yet, DC has one of the highest murder rates in the country. Baltimore (the murder capital of the U.S.) is right next door too.
By contrast, many areas of Texas are heavily armed but have significantly lower murder rates.
Guns don't necessarily equal less safety, and honestly, why would you find yourself in many fights anyway? You don't seem like the aggressive type.
i think its fucking mental people are so terrified of each other they ban everything and anything that could be possibly be used to hurt each other :\Dimeyard wrote:

yeh to tell u the truth bringing a knife into a fight is honestly one of the worst things i think u can do. cause picture thiscospengle wrote:
Agreed. Pulling out a knife in the face of a crazed attacker would be like a red rag to a bull. Why bring a deadly weapon wherever you go? All it does is ensure there is a weapon available if someone wants to hurt you badly.krazed wrote:
unless you're properly trained on how to fight with a knife, it wouldn't advise trying to use it if confronted... although i do carry a knife readily for every day uses, i see no problem
Anyway, if (as you claim) you know how to avoid fights, you won't be needing a knife.
