Fairly sure that Ky is. Our permit is CCDW, Concealed Carry Deadly Weapon. My instructor said that if you can get it under your coat that you can carry anything.

You're good to go in Texas, as long as the blade is 5 1/2 " or less. geegee

[Seminole]

Florida, as I understand it. The CCL is a "Concealed Weapons" permit--thus someone holding it may carry any weapon as long as it is concealed. Boy, I miss Florida!

[Boats]

In Oregon, as long as it isn't a "dagger" or a "dirk," i.e., not double edged and specifically designed for stabbing alone, you could carry a falchion in your pants if you could manage it, no permit required.

Auto openers are legal here too, again only one cutting edge please.:neener:

Arizona!

[TexasVet]

As long as that knife is NOT a "dagger" which includes dirks, stilettos and poniards. (PONIARDS!) Basically, no double edged blades.:rolleyes:

Oregon has CHL - Concealed Handgun License and it does not include edged weapons.

Boats, I don't think you got it quite right. See the following section of the Oregon Revised Stautes:

166.240 Carrying of concealed weapons. (1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, any person who carries concealed upon the person any knife having a blade that projects or swings into position by force of a spring or by centrifugal force, any dirk, dagger, ice pick, slungshot, metal knuckles, or any similar instrument by the use of which injury could be inflicted upon the person or property of any other person, commits a Class B misdemeanor.

Of course peace officers have more rights than citizens
(2) Nothing in subsection (1) of this section applies to any peace officer as defined in ORS 133.005, whose duty it is to serve process or make arrests. Justice courts have concurrent jurisdiction to try any person charged with violating any of the provisions of subsection (1) of this section. [Amended by 1977 c.454 §1; 1985 c.543 §2; 1989 c.839 §21; 1999 c.1040 §15]

Greg L. is absolutely right, in KY, if you can conceal it, it's covered. You still must have Class 3 if you carry full-auto, but that's another issue.

[modifiedbrowning]

In Montana anything over 3" and you need a CCW. Under 3" and you don't need a CCW.

Seeker,

Of course peace officers have more rights than citizens

Everybody is equal; just some more equal than others...

Taiwan, all blades are now acceptable regardless of length; but they can't be double-edged.

[md2lgyk]

Don't know the specific laws governing concealed knives in WV, but a CCW permit doesn't include them. It's called a "Concealed Pistol/Revolver License."

[Skunkabilly]

What's the advantage of a double edged blade other they're harder to fondle and take longer to sharpen?

[TheOtherOne]

I don't know the stance in Utah on concealing knives. Our permit is a "Concealed Firearm Permit" so it probably doesn't allow it. I never would have thought it would be illegal to carry a blade with or without a permit in the first place.

I do know the guy that taught my CCW class said we couldn't conceal a rifle or shotgun, but I can't find anything in the law here to back up what he said... so I don't know if that's true.

Indiana, carry a sword for all we care. Our "CCW" statute, which is neither C or W, just concerns pistols. Feel free to carry your rifle, shotgun, submachine gun or sword whenever you walk the earf out here.:D

Colorado says Concealed Weapons Permit. The statutes prohibit nunchuks and throwing stars.
