Nice! Where can you carry a knife but not a handgun concealed?

But carrying a large knife concealed here in MI is an invitation to problems with the law. Even our CPL licenses do not allow for carrying knives. I am an environmental worker who cannot carry a firearm at work frequently because of employer requirements. I can always carry a large knife and/or a hatchet as part of my field kit though and usually have both even when carrying a firearm. The most common knife is a Marbles Bowie/machete made in El Salvadore by Condor and the hatchet is a Vaughn carpenters axe. For an alternative, have carried a Cold Steel Tanto-lite or their Outdoorsman-lite in place of the machete.

walked to work. I made a sheath for my Chef's knife... learned to conceal it. Avoided getting stopped and questioned. in AZ, where there are NO restrictions...

With a proper sheath one can easily and comfortably hide a decent sized blade...

Of the Troops & For the Troops

Two things.

1. Don't live in a dumb place. While some may consider the state in which I live "backward", one thing is clear. You can pretty much do whatever you want as long as it doesn't step on anyone else's toes (except it is still illegal to smoke dope here). We have no knife laws at all. I workout every morning on post and while the MPs at the main gate don't give knives a second look will bust you quick if they find a firearm in your truck. The dogs can smell them.

2. After a couple of close range force on force handgun classes and a couple of military combative classes (LINES and MACs) it becomes clear that most if not all interpersonal violence that one might face outside a battle field will be at conversational distance. At arm's length a strong sharp blade is at least as good as a sidearm if one is up to really getting with it.

Anecdotal reports are that thugs will back off shining steel faster than a brandished pistol but I don't know nothing about that.

Which is what gave me the idea. Just don't like it as well.
