Hey all,
I am looking for some knowledgeable people on the Florida CCW laws and how knives are treated or looked at in the law.
Specifically I am wondering if these fixed blade knives that have blades of about 4 inches or so that we all see on custom knife websites and magazine covers would be legal to carry concealed if you have a valid Florida CCW permit. If they are NOT legal to carry with a Florida CCW, are they legal to carry in PLAIN VIEW?
I think back in my state of Ohio, knives aren't included in the CCW law. I am not totally sure on that though.
Can anyone school me on these issues in FLORIDA? I'd really like to know a bit more about it. Of course if you have info that I am not correct about the Ohio law I'd like to know that as well.
Also I have seen several different mentions of what is a LEGAL POCKET KNIFE here in Florida. Some places say you can't have one with a blade over 3 inches, some say 4 inches in length. Does anyone have a definitive answer on that, if there is such a thing? Would pocket knives be included in the CCW law? What if you wanted to carry a "pocket knife" with a blade longer than 4 inches? Can you do it if you have a CCW permit?
Anyone?
Thanks for the help and the time.
