If you are carrying a knife on your belt or on a carbarnier in NYC you will be stopped in places like Penn Station or Times Square. I carried a SA Huntsman on my key carabinier and was stopped entering the 33rd St 7th Ave subway . I had to show the two cops it wasn’t a locking blade. A lot of this isnt about safety , it’s about arrests that result in convictions, even plea bargains. That’s wny Vance is so against the new law. It will remove 40K convictions from his scorecard
I learned 50 years ago, that I couldn’t carry knives with a certain length here in Los Angeles.
These laws have been around for a long time.
