Got pulled over tonight--almost charged

[denton]

We need fabsroman over here to comment... but in some states, having a concealed knife can be a problem. That includes a knife in your console, out of sight, but where you can reach it easily.

Here in Utah, technically, if you put your sheath knife on your belt, and then put your jacket over it, you are carrying a concealed deadly weapon. That's a big deal, unless you have a concealed carry permit.

Now would any reasonable cop do anything about it, if he saw you in hunter orange, with camping stuff in the back? I don't think so.

You may have to store your knives in the trunk to be strictly legal.

All you need is some overeager, can't be proved wrong cop, and you might be surprised what he can make stick.

I miss the old days.
