Hello all.
I live in California.
I am considering one of Morakniv's offerings, or a Cold Steel SRK.
Both are incredibly cheap (all less than $40), so they are options for me ATM.
I need something larger than my folder for my bugout bag, and also if I ever go camping they would come in quite handy.
I own a van that is also converted into a camper.
Sometimes, whilst on the way to camping, I take a "break" on the side of the road to catch some z's.
A van can be partitioned into 2 sections:
-drivers area/glovebox/any immediately reachable area.
This is the concern for most people, as they use their car primarily for driving.
-rear of the van.
This is where it is converted into a camper setup, and where I would likely be storing it.
I don't break any driving laws, and I am in fact usually always following speed limits.
I'm not in much of a hurry to get anywhere, and if I am in or travelling to a dense area, I plan far far ahead of time while keeping in mind that it's crazy and that there will be a ton of traffic/people everywhere.
If I don't feel like doing that, I park in the outskirts and just ride my bike into town.
BUT, if I am in the van on some random road, or I pull off and sleep in the wrong place, what happens if the fixed blade is int he same compartment as where I am sleeping?
Is that considered something different?
I know that owning a fixed blade and transporting it through said vehicle to and from a place of recreation is likely legal, but how about if I just keep it in the van?
I guess I can keep my bugout bag in another place if I am travelling without going to any outdoorsy place, but I plan on getting rid of my storage soon, and I would like to keep everything in my van.
Otherwise it would just be easy to keep it in another place.
The knife would likely never leave it's bugout bag unless I play with it or go camping with it.
It would be stored with other bugout stuff like a folding saw, ferro rods, tarps, cord, fishing equipment, etc.
Thanks!
