Are butterfly knives illegal in Mississippi?

They aren't, unless you're intoxicated... Butterfly knives, also commonly known as balisongs, are classified as "gravity knives" rather than "switchblades", and therefore are not made illegal by the same laws and regulations. However, they are considered a deadly weapon in some cases, as they can be deployed using one hand very quickly and are easy to conceal. In some parts of the world they are most definatley illegal, as is the manufacture, sale, lending, or carry of these knives. Germany is a prime example, where any of these actions carries a stiff fine and up to 5 years in prison. In Hong Kong, it is illegal to possess one with a blade of two inches or more, but miniature versions are a popular tourist item. (good luck getting that into your carry-on). In the United States, state laws vary by locale, and how close to the buckle of The Bible belt you reside. In Mississippi, it is legal to own a butterfly knife, and legal to carry one provided it is not concealed and you are not intoxicated. But if you find yourself intoxicated in the state of Mississippi, the last thing you need to be doing is practicing your butterfly knife routine.
