Is it legal? Here is the entire MN law for knives.
Minnesota - Section 609.66. Dangerous weapons. Subdivision 1.
Acts prohibited. Whoever does any of the following is
guilty of a misdemeanor...
(4) manufactures, transfers, or possesses ... a switch blade knife opening automatically; or
(5) possesses any other dangerous article or substance for the purpose of being used unlawfully as a weapon against another; or
I am guessing a butterfly knife is not considered a switch blade or gravity knife, but I wanted to make sure before carrying one 24/7. Am I correct to assume that in my state I can carry any sharp pointy thing including swords, daggers, fixed blade knives, double edged, serrated, curved, etc etc. Any legth, size or shape is good to go?
Another question how does the local ordinance thing work? My city, Plymouth, and county, Hennipen, do not mention knives so I guess I am clear. Does that mean when I drive to school I will pass through five different sets of local laws, each one capable of making me a criminal?
If anyone is wondering, I am just trying out a butterfly knife, I may switch to a normal folding knife.
