hello,
This is more of a curiosity question than a practical question about fixed knives in Los Angeles, California.
In Los Angeles county, concealed carry of a fixed knife is not legal. Open carry is legal. But it got me thinking... a bit silly. What actually constitutes as a fixed knife??
Would concealed carry of a fixed blade knife legal if the knife:
- is 1 inch blade length neck knife
- or 2 inch blade punch knife
- or it has no handle, like a razor blade
- or its a tiny nail filed to have an edge
- is carrying a broken piece of 1/2 inch metal considered fixed knife?
Im not talking about a practical law since no cop would actually arrest an old grandma carrying a knitting needle. Or me if I carried a tiny card shape multi-tool with an edge that doesnt fold. Im more curious about legality of what constitutes as a fixed knife in state + local law.
Thanks
