Got stopped in boston for s delica 4 clipped to my dress pants. Said I was opening boxes. (I was). He said bullshit, opened the blade to measure it and passed it back to me. Since it still had tape goo and crap on it , passed it back to me and told me to leave it at home.
I said politely that ill keep exercising my licensed rights and bring it with me into the city.
Never checked id.it was all I could do to not get pissed off and snap at him.
Saw the same officer a few days later and he nodded at me as I passed. Still bitter about being approached the first day for such a stupid thing as having a folder on my pocket.

Can you actually get in legal trouble for carrying a knife longer than a town ordinance allows? I was under the impresdion that they would just take it away at most.

Alot of the towns around me have the stupid 2.5 knife ordinance.
I'm curious for those in the same boat as me what blades do you carry?
You can reply here or pm me any opinions or info.

My understanding is that they can arrest you and drag you into court, where you can be fined for the offense. I'd rather not find out, so I try to avoid towns with these ordinances. If I can't, I carry a smaller knife, such as a spyderco Chicago. (Named for its length being under Chicago's draconian limit) the laws are BS, but its not worth getting popped for. Work to change the laws or move.
My EDC, couldn't fit it all, too long for the camera.

Emerson Combat Karambit. According to Emerson's site, blade length is 2.6 inches. As others have mentioned, if I actually have to use it for protection, blade length is the least of my worries.
