Can you carry a pocket knife in Illinois?

The laws in Illinois regarding carrying knives are a little confusing and vague, but generally you're permitted to carry a knife with a blade up to 3" without any hassle. Having a knife in your possession while committing a crime, whether or not the knife is being used in the crime, will be grounds for a charge of carrying a dangerous weapon to be added on to the charges related to the crime itself.

Within the city of Chicago, and perhaps other cities, the blade length limit is 2.5" rather than 3".

Switchblades of any kind, defined as being able to be opened without touching the blade by means of a button or release on the handle, are illegal in most states, including Illinois.

(720 ILCS 5/24-1,2 States that there is NO limit to a 3" blade length, but rather knives that are either switchblade or ballistic (propelled blade) in possession commits the offense of unlawful use of a weapon. A knife blade that is thrust open by thumb on the blade itself and not on the handle is not in this category and is therefore able to be longer than 3") 720 ILCS 5/Article 33A states that "Armed with a dangerous weapon" means that you are carrying a knife with a blade longer than 3". This in itself is not a crime, but you commit armed violence only when committing a felony with this weapon.

It shall be unlawful for an individual who is an officer or employee of the Federal Government, including the President, Vice President, and Members of Congress, to solicit a donation of money or other thing of value in connection with a Federal, State, or local election, while in any room or building occupied in the discharge of official duties by an officer or employee of the United States, from any person."

What is contempt of court?

To be in contempt of court, you have to disobey willfully a legally allowable demand of the court. A legally allowable demand of the court could include instruction to attend court, to deliver up certain documents, or even as simply to be quiet during a court hearing where you have no right to speak. Contempt of court is usually dealt with by giving you a time limit to put that contempt right, however if you continue to disobey wilfully, the penalties can incur detention until such time as you agree to put the contempt right - in most cases just the threat of detention causes the contempt to be sorted quickly. The court is not permitted to ask you to do something out of your range of ability to do it or that the court is not permitted to do so - for example if you are giving birth you could not be jailed for failing to attend court - it is always based on reasonable demands.
