Is a folder clipped to your pocket considered concealed?

[bikerector]

Yes, I'm aware of the statute in Michigan however, my question is geared more toward what is actually considered "concealed."

Also in Michigan, I've always heard that the clip is considered exposed, but not brandished, but I am not a LEO. With the exception of some of the city ordinances, I don't think concealed or unconcealed ever comes into question. In SE MI where I now lived, most suburbs have a different rule.

The graphic above is not accurate for MI, even before the switchblade law was repealed recently. The catch with MI knife laws is the "intent to use unlawfully/ do harm."

I'm not sure how it works in Michigan but technically in Canada we are not supposed to conceal knives as weapons. However if you go with the "my knife is jjst a tool, not a weapon" argument, then there is no law against concealing tools. It's easier to make this argument if your knife clearly doesn't look like a fighting knife. If michigan laws are based on intent then the cops will likely take that into consideration.

I recommend this book, especially for anyone who will carry knives to other states.

Edit: check this out too.
Not sure how accurate it is.

Not positive about the rest of the chart, but I know for a fact that in Louisiana you can carry any non-auto knife of any size or shape concealed. Fixed or folder. Can't wait to move back.
