July 1, 2014: July 1st is Knife Freedom Day in Tennessee. Knife Rights' repeal of the ban on automatic (switchblade) knives and the carry of knives over four inches in length "with intent to go armed," a vague law subject to abusive interpretation, goes into effect today. Combined with Knife Law Preemption that Knife Rights passed in Tennessee last year, which rendered null and void all local laws more restrictive than state law, this means that all law-abiding citizens of the Volunteer State can now own and carry the knife of their choice.

What size knife can you carry in Colorado?

In Colorado, there are no specific size restrictions on knives that you can carry, meaning you can carry knives of any length, including larger fixed-blade knives. However, it is important to note that while open carry is generally allowed, certain knives, such as those considered dangerous or switchblades, may have restrictions in specific locations or circumstances. Additionally, carrying a knife concealed may be subject to different regulations, and it's advisable to check local laws for any specific ordinances. Always ensure that your knife carry complies with any applicable laws in the area you are in.

The best size for a pocket knife typically depends on its intended use and personal preference. A blade length of around 2.5 to 3.5 inches is ideal for everyday carry, providing a good balance between portability and functionality. For tasks requiring more power, a slightly larger knife may be beneficial, while for minimalistic carry, a smaller blade can suffice.

What size knife is legal to carry in Massachusetts?

There seems to be a great deal of confusion on the subject. Many believe it to be no longer than 3" while others are still saying 5-6". The statutes on the laws themselves seem only to touch on it very vaguely, mostly saying about criminal use or intent. Realistically outside of the federal laws in place where you cant take them on school, or federal property, or airlines.. You shouldn't have any problem defending a claim against you for any size knife that isn't a switchblade. Also they cant stop you for a knife if its not of obvious intent that your going to be using it for illegal activity. I asked a police friend of mine what the laws are for concealed knife carrying in Minnesota and he informed he that 5 inches is the legal limit for a concealed knife.
