In the past and I think still is -4" max to carry.Of course no autos ,switch blades etc.

UNDER 4 inches, no autos, balisongs

Knives must also be carried under your exterior clothing.

knifenerd- Does that mean a folder in a belt sheath (for example a Buck 110) is illegal there if not covered by a jacket or shirt?

By any chance does this have anything to do with your "homeless project"?
