I live nearby and often work in Boston. I asked a BPD official directly because I usually have a Spyderco clip in my pocket. It`s a tool I probably use a dozen times a day to work, open boots, cut ropes, etc. His response was, “Most of us wouldn`t bother you for that, as long as it`s used responsibly. But technically, you can`t wear that in the city of Boston. I also can`t legally wear my Leatherman Supertool, which has two blades above the legal limit. It would be absurd to claim that Albert Smith`s “well” was legal for inmates in the custody of the Massachusetts Department of Corrections. Similarly, it would be an absurd result if it were deemed legal because only one side was “thinned to the brim.” What about karabits and foldable carabits are legal or illegal, can anyone tell me if it is legal to carry this knife? www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KCCOVVU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 Note that this is not legal advice and does not exist as a client-lawyer. There are also county laws that also come into play, so if you need legal help, talk to a lawyer in your area.
Mr. Albert Smith had been sentenced to imprisonment in Cedar Junction for armed robbery. He filed a lawsuit against the Department of Corrections alleging “unlawful segregation and detention” while incarcerated in Cedar Junction. (We can assume that solitary confinement is an example of illegal solitary confinement.) I want to get a strong 4.8-inch strong tanner arm. Are there any restrictions on having it in a vagina on your belt? I didn`t know if it counted as an “open port” or something like that. Is there anything I need to pay attention to? Are there also legal restrictions to have them in a shopping mall or in a very public place? There is no prohibition on the possession of knives of any kind. Most everyday knives are completely legal to own. However, there are severe restrictions on wearing, overt or concealed. So if you stray from the net and plan to wear a clever cutter on your belt, your safe bet is a folding knife, a Swiss blade, or an automatic knife with a blade no larger than 1 1/2 inches. Hi Michael; I`m not allowed to give you “official” advice, but unofficially, as far as I know, your CRKT knife is perfectly legal as long as you don`t throw it down a main street in Boston shouting at passersby! Common sense reigns supreme and you shouldn`t have a problem!J. On others who have shown the Karambit he has shown that it is legal to wear it, but based on this site, I cannot say that I have my Karambit in his case as a necklace and I have not been stopped by it. I have a Damascus steel hunting knife with a blade length of 4.5″ has a full-tang design (I don`t know if that`s important) Is it legal to wear my belt in a sheath in full vision? I live another 12 days in A Hole Massachusetts.
Then I move to NH, where I know it`s not a problem. Any advice (I know this is not actual legal advice) would be greatly appreciated. Are folding pocket knives longer than 4 inches illegal? Hey, I want a kolashnikov Boker 74 I don`t want to bring it to the public for use only on my property I live en masse and the Kalashnikov Boker has a three inch blade and is a car that would be legal to use on my property They are legal as long as they don`t have two edges. Considering that there is no exact law on the length of the blade of all the people I have spoken to, and that I have sought information en masse, I would say no, it is not illegal for them to do so. I have a sword, a kukri and a tanto. The shortest of these is the Tanto with a blade length of 8 inches. Sure, I`m not wearing it, but damn it. I`m still trying to figure out how legal my knife is, which I recently got, and it`s only 4 inches long, but it`s a solid blade and could be perceived as a dangerous weapon. Hi Nicky; Thank you for checking knifeup.com. The short answer to your question is that this is a grey area and, depending on the circumstances, you will likely get a lot of sympathy.
For example, I know that in Toronto, Canada, thieves were broken in a window of a jewelry store a few months ago and the owner was working with 3 employees at the time. The 4 men seized swords (ceremonial swords, since all employees were East Indians) and hit the thieves at the window until the thieves left. Police said they were “discouraging such activities” but admitted there would be no charges against the sword-wielding staff in the case under the circumstances. Keep in mind that gun ownership laws in Canada are MUCH stricter than in any U.S. state, then this is good news for you. Hope this helps!J. To transport your person or in the vehicle. YES. Illegal.

So I have someone who could buy a sword for me personally. I don`t live in Massachusetts; However, they do. Is it illegal for them to send me the sword? Is it possible to sell swords anywhere in Massachusetts? I have a broad sword that I want to get rid of, dunno, where I can sell it unlike King Richard. if they allow it. Is it legal to wear a fixed blade? as described in the link Guide to Interstate Transportation of Firearms, NRA Institute for Legislative Action “Many states and localities have laws that govern the transportation of firearms. Travelers should be aware of these laws and comply with the legal requirements of each jurisdiction. There is no uniform public transportation procedure for firearms. Contains links to state and federal laws. Is it legal to wear something for a joint as long as you don`t disturb the peace? This section of the law makes it illegal to carry a “dangerous weapon” if you disturb the peace or are arrested for a crime.
If you were arrested for something and you carried a knife, would you be charged with illegal carrying, just like wearing a switch blade, since a knife can be a “dangerous weapon”? I`m learning martial arts and wondering if it`s legal to wear a sheathed katana (single-edged, not automatic, not hidden) on public transport between home and class.
