If you were traveling abroad would you carry a pocket knife with you? I'm talking a Buck 110 lock-back folder with a three inch blade.
Is it legal to eat a bacon in Iran?
Or sell beer in Alabama on Sunday?
Or carry a knife in Ireland?
What does any of this have to do with gun laws?
Call ahead and find out for sure. If something happens, you don't want to be getting a tour of the Irish justice system.
If Ireland is anything at all like Britain, the answer will be no.
+1Not true. Here in the UK you can legally carry a folding pocket knife so long as the blade does not exceed 3”and can not be locked in place.
I'm not sure about Southern Ireland though ... sorry.
