Well, yeah.
If you're a freakin' moron.
Sheesh!...some of the stupidity that emanates from some of these so-called "experts"!
Just like the asinine argument over appendix carry for guns..."you'll shoot your balls off, kid".
Anything for a journalistic buck.
Live in the real world for a while, idiot.
In other words, about average for 'Am Shooting Journal'.
I dunno. I carried one, prolly of questionable quality, when I was a lot younger. The damn thing would open in my pocket cause the lock would slide off and my jeans would push the button.
Didn’t stab my leg or doo-dads, but it could be tough the next time I reached in that pocket. d;^)
I’ve carried a Kershaw Rogue (2001 CKT) every day since 2001...Used it on the job, and it’s part of me now...
It’s a matter of keeping the mechanism clean, a drop of oil now and then, and regularly checking that the blade lock functions and using it properly...
Auto knives are no more inherently dangerous than any other cutting tool...You need to know what you’re doing and pay attention...Pretty much the best way to go thru life anyway...
Biggest laugh I ever got from a cop was being asked if I had a knife (”you hose-draggers all carry knives”; he had some rope to cut), I pressed the button and handed him my Rogue...His eyes got big and he used the knife...Handed it back to me with a giggle...Not a word about “That’s not legal”...I was in uniform so I guess I got a pass...
