I have been told the same by someone who makes a living of knives.I was told that in NC anyone can own one but only full time military personnel ,First responders and law enforcement personnel can legally carry them. I would check the NC Attorney Generals website . Should be listed there
... it lists a few types of fixed blades. A stupid thing is our CHP (Concealed Handgun Permit) only applies to handguns so we have no relief there ... or even a stun gun for that matter.14-269. Carrying concealed weapons.
(a) It shall be unlawful for any person willfully and intentionally to carry concealed about his or her person any bowie knife, dirk, dagger, slung shot, loaded cane, metallic knuckles, razor, shuriken, stun gun, or other deadly weapon of like kind, except when the person is on the person's own premises.
Your car may have but one knife.
My understanding is thatYou think some LEOs aren’t to up on firearms laws, many are worse on edged weapon laws and NC edged weapons laws are pretty vague. Like some will go with certain blade lengths on knives others will go with a fixed blade hunting knife not being in the open in a vehicle an “illegally concealed” ... and then let the courts settle it.
Honestly most LEOs are not going to give a law abiding citizen grief over an auto opener vs an assist opener but if they’re in a bad mood it is an area some will get nasty in. Personally I’ve never had any problem with a LEO and any knife up to an assist opener (don’t own an aut0 opener) I guess because when you inform them of your CHP and so on and little blade doesn’t stand out.

My take is it’s a gray enough area that I ain’t gonna say anymore than the above ...
My understanding is that
"or other deadly weapon of like kind"
""like kind"" has been legally extrapolated to include all fixed blades no matter style or length....
I for one don't want to be in court establishing case law regarding "like kind" interpretation
Ha! you know how many knives, machete's, tomahawks or blades in general are in my car, bags and packs when I head to the mountains?
Cause I don't.
The laws, as written, are certainly vague enough to make me stick with my current spydercos for edc.
What are those rounds with the blue caps? (I'm new!) Are those metal BBs in there?It makes for a sticky situation
So I'm not allowed to carry a stun gun in a backpack in the trunk of my car? Oh dear.....You think some LEOs aren’t to up on firearms laws, many are worse on edged weapon laws and NC edged weapons laws are pretty vague. Like some will go with certain blade lengths on knives others will go with a fixed blade hunting knife not being in the open in a vehicle an “illegally concealed” ... and then let the courts settle it.

Snake or rat shot.What are those rounds with the blue caps? (I'm new!) Are those metal BBs in there?
Cool! Thanks for responding. Are they only for revolvers? How do they affect recoil? Are they louder than "regular" rounds?Snake or rat shot.
Like a shotgun shell for a handgun.
They probably aren't reliable for feeding in a semi-auto so best used only in revolvers. I've shot a few just to verify function so I don't remember how they recoil. About "louder", we're wearing hearing protection so only the snake/rat can comment. These seem to only work if you're very close to the critter and might only piss off a human if used in a SD situation.Cool! Thanks for responding. Are they only for revolvers? How do they affect recoil? Are they louder than "regular" rounds?
I've only used them in 22LR in a revolver, others should be able to tell you on calibers.Cool! Thanks for responding. Are they only for revolvers? How do they affect recoil? Are they louder than "regular" rounds?

Eeewwww!I load my own in .38 and .44 caliber. I use #7 1/2 lead shot. Yes, they work. Copper heads, one timber rattler, and many rats.
Rat On...
I want to buy a spyderco autonomy and was confused on if i can carry it or not. Some places say i can and some not. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
I carry rat shot in my SP101 Ruger whenever I'm on the tractor. Seems like every time I bush hog or make hay, I have to defend myself from those critters.I load my own in .38 and .44 caliber. I use #7 1/2 lead shot. Yes, they work. Copper heads, one timber rattler, and many rats.
