That is the loophole. The idea is that the state wants more money. Go to the sporting goods queue pay $25. For a state license. Just make sure you always take fishing gear with you and know every freshwater lake you live in. Yes, sir, I will fish the equipment is in the back. Laughing out loud. New York is a joke.

Karambits are not explicitly mentioned in the law, as long as they meet the length requirement, they should be legal (I asked my local police department in the state, but the same should apply to the city unless expressly stated otherwise) If I own a fixed blade knife with a blade length greater than 4 inches (only possess, don`t wear), it`s illegal, I want to know if I can own, own and carry a UNSHARPENED/TRAINER butterfly knife on Long Island. The state does not have the right under the Constitution to assume that anything other than you is innocent until proven guilty of possession of a knife for illegal purposes, unless the state can prove otherwise. So if I have a training knife (butterfly knife) and I only keep it at home to practice tricks, is this acceptable and legal with the police? A hasty answer would be welcome as I want to buy the knife very soon. I was supported in the New York subway to carry a legal knife under a blade length of 3″, not open, just a normal folding pocket knife that requires 2 hands to open. The pocket clip was in sight as the knife was in my pocket. In New York, it is legal to carry a Kershaw Ken onion knife. I know this because I had to prove that it was not a switching blade in court. Well, what if that supposed “gravitational meter” were a “butterfly knife”? What happens if the knife opens with gravity but does not engage, unlike a real “rangefinder”?

However, do you know that definitions of what constitutes this type of “weapon” can vary, and if it does not comply with the law, it could be illegal. I lived on a farm, hunted and fished. I moved to North Tonawanda, a suburb of Buffalo, NY. One day, I was arrested and harassed by a police officer, literally because I was “new to the neighborhood.” I forgot I still had my Switchblade in my back pocket and my Alaskan hunting knives in the trunk. The officer charged me with criminal possession of a fourth-degree weapon and a criminal complaint for each hunting knife. They didn`t give up the offense because my hunting license had expired, but they dropped it (felon knife charge) in order to stay in the city court and not go to the county. All I have to say is that NYS is the worst state I`ve ever been to. With other restrictions added to put innocent people in jail or charge them money. I don`t understand why my knives were more illegal than other knives, or why I`m portrayed as a criminal when I love to hunt. If there were more mass murders with hammers, would they make them illegal? I`m a carpenter, will they bother me because I`m wearing tools? I say goodbye to NYS, I won`t miss you. The answer to this question depends entirely on the characteristics of the respective object.

You`d also be surprised how many pain patients are slandered as opioid abusers. I was recently tortured at Huntington Hospital and detained against my will because one of the doctors apparently believed I was an opioid addict due to a genetically high resistance to the painkiller effects of opioids. Although they begged for another method of pain management – to the point where they brought my medical marijuana (to avoid opioids – they refused to lose weight on me, and after discovering that I was recording them when I started overdosing, they tried to give me a fentanyl patch while telling me that I was only making things worse for myself and that I should stop, to pretend. You know, instead of administering the otherwise harmless Narcon, it would reverse the symptoms I showed, while implying that they would help if only I did. Because when I said I was faking things that would allow them to excuse their behavior, you are ignoring my World Leading Specialist certified diagnosis of a rare genetic disease in favor of their psychological diagnosis of “factual and somatic disorder,” which was made without regard to diagnostic criteria and rejected by my other doctors. I am currently trying to get a civil rights lawyer for the case because I cannot get a government organization to actually investigate the crime, even though I have called the police several times to report illegal detentions and related crimes. The hospital also did not inform the mental health services of what they are required by law to do for each stay of more than 7 days during which a psychiatric consultation took place, which shows that they intended to disrupt the course of justice.

A karambit isn`t explicitly mentioned in New York State regulations, but more importantly, it`s about whether you`re willing (or appear to be) willing to do something sketchy or illegal, like attacking someone. Otherwise, there is still a chance that you will be asked why you have a karambit whose sole purpose is to cut off another body. If I were you, I would either wear the hidden Karambit or open a 3.5-inch folding knife with a 3.5-inch blade to be on the safe side. To make things even more confusing, the City of Buffalo has its own laws prohibiting you from carrying OPEN knives on city property. I would never show my knife to anyone, and then you will never be asked about it, and no one will ever complain! Applause, Pete Hey Alan; Thank you for your questions and comments.
To answer your questions about the legal wearing of knives, here are my thoughts; I`m not a big fan of a city/urban center, let alone New York. They have their own knife laws, which in many cases replace state laws and city laws are stricter (probably to reduce gang warfare??). I also know that perception is everything and if you are found with a camouflaged cutting instrument, you will surely have a co-worker who will squeak on you and let the police appear. So the intention is what they`re going to look at, regardless of its legality in the books. That means they will make a subjective judgment or take it from you and charge you — according to the official.
