Gavin Newsom is an idiot. Theres no shortage of peiple whomhate him pro gun or not. He made California a sanctuary state and nobody was happy about it except for illegals and the sjws who said you do not support immigration. and today I say no I don't support illegal immigration I support legal immigration. There's a bunch of other stuff that you did that nobody liked. Also there isn't going to be enough batteries going around to make Tesla electric cars for everyone. Also hydrogen fuel cell cars are super expensive. Toyota is the only company that currently makes them and those are $60,000.

[@JohnLloydScharf]

Your car has too many cylinders. A car at 40 mph has a 90% kill rate with one hit. Your long gun only kills 68% of the time. A 4000 pound car at 40 mph has more destructive energy than a 20mm cannon.

I had a homeless man walk up to us with a knife drawn out late at night. My friend and I had no idea what to do, luckily the man didn’t have any issues with us. He didn’t seem all there or maybe just on some kind of drugs. He kept saying something along the lines that he was homeless and had nothing to lose and that people should be worried about homeless people because they never know what they have on them. He fist bumped us and then walked off. My heart sank and my friend didn’t even see the knife till after I mentioned it. I told my family about the situation and I decided to get one for myself just for protection, but let me tell you that it was an absolutely scary situation.

[@garywheeler7039]

@@bryantv2410 Not in California. A dagger can be illegal if it not carried in the open. Depending on local laws regarding length and so on also. A dagger is sharpened on both sides along its full length, and intended to be used as a "weapon", as opposed to most regular knives that are intended to be used as "tools". I know a guy that got caught on that, although I do not know the particulars.

[@bryantv2410]

@@garywheeler7039 yes if you're looking at the actual definition of a dagger is a two sided blade but California considers any fixed blade a dagger for example a ka-bar, you'll have to carry it on your open waist because Cali law would just throw it under dagger since it's not a folding knife, even though a ka-bar is a one sided blade.

Just one more good reason to never live in Cali. I learned at a young age (8 yrs old) to never carry a knife openly. My uncle carried his open on his side and a guy came up behind him and pulled the knife out of the sheath and stabbed my uncle with it and robbed him. I have never forgotten that.

[@merrichoang]

When you carry, it is your responsibility to stay alert and be aware of your surroundings at all times. If someone can take the gun or knife from you, you shouldn't be carrying them in the first place. It doesn't make it safer just because you no longer do open carry.

So, serious question here as well as a little backstory. Question: What about axes? Would an axe fall under the category of dirk or dagger? Would I be able to carry it opened or concealed? Also would I be able to carry an axe or fixed knife openly in view in my personal vehicle but not on my person? Backstory: So, I used to do medieval reenactment and at times when not doing combat with weapons made of rattan I would generally carry an axe openly on my person. I also would transport this axe to and from events in the cab of my vehicle and it would generally easily be within reach. I also have a cold steel tanto (large fixed blade knife) that I keep stored openly in my vehicle for a multitude of reasons such as glass breaker, seatbelt cutter, self defense, general purpose knife for any cutting needs. From my perception of the penal codes I have read I have always thought that these things were legal but I'm no lawyer so I figured I would ask. My county and city have no additions to the state knife laws other than being unable to carry any weapon within city limits in a public park.

[@tonyfierro2298]

Just bought a Benchmade 940 fellas .

Been to enough Ren Faires to know nearly no dirk or dagger law is enforced whatsoever. What is legal with knives is nearly always contextual, as cops selectively enforce things.

[@strateshooter1402]

So , you trust a Cop to "selectively enforce " correctly every time ?

[@robdeskrd]

To carry a fixed blade in a carry bag/backpack make sure it's not readily accessible, old leather bayonet frogs have a belt buckle style handle strap should qualify but if you aren't sure of an idea get a hold of the state attorney general office and ask if compliant and also ask your local D.A.'s office & P.D.

I had no idea knives were regulated anywhere in america. Dear god we have fumbled our freedoms. My main carry has always been a balisong ever since I was 13 or so!

[@Peter421]

Interesting I was researching this last night and this morning because I'm trying to find a good EDC. Huge coincidence!

[@alexl9283]

I open carry my bowie Alabama slammer knife everywhere I go except the places where there prohibited like government buildings,schools and airports.

[@gungasc]

that list will increase.

[@alexl9283]

Yes unfortunately here in commucalifornia.

[@charlesnash2748]

Great job. Thank you.

[@adfgfds]

Rights in California: No.

[@paypatrolfactor5336]

That a nice Spyderco you have , its got cool color scales with that shade of green.

[@bray7197]

The fact that we have to have this discussing is disturbing it a fucking knife, This is insanity.

[@sharbee23000]

This was so informative. Thank you.

[@mpeugeot]

So by definition, a pointy stick is a dirk or dagger? So a concealed pointy stick might be a felony?

[@weduhpeople8504]

Karambit knives are great to hook into eye sockets plus if it has an Emerson wave it deploys faster than an otf knife.

[@halcooper6059]

These laws protect nobody.

[@sleepingcoconut7164]

No they protect criminals.

[@lalamclala5553]

Hahaha! Criminals are predators. They go for the softest targets that are the least likely to defend themselves. Criminals must be healthy enough to attack people. Criminals cannot afford to go to the hospital. especially for defensive wounds from their victims.

[@MrArob826]

Good video and U remember that first one that you did. You have come a very long way and I see a very bright future for you.

[@SileightyS13]

So legally I can carry a sword on my waist which is easy to unsheath... but not on my back which is arguably more difficult to deploy 🤦‍♂️

[@takingbacktoxic7898]

technically, yes in most places here

[@ajaxracing]

I've heard lynn tompson would wear a katana on his back regularly

[@Darkian95403]

The penal code just makes a specific example (PC 20200) that openly wearing it on the waist does not qualify as concealed, it doesn't say it's required to be there.

[@schmoulblah]

in LA they say no knifes over 3 inches , but they also say that it doesnt apply for legal recreational purpose . so i carry my cold steel leatherneck for one of these purpose like cutting an apple or a mango , if its done outside , technically , its picnicking

[@nikolashanks7058]

Meanwhile in Texas I got a rifle strap to my chest and a sword strapped to my back I'm going for a walk.

[@markgray9670]

I live in Florida, our knife laws are very strict on small knives like pocket knives, however I can open carry any of my swords or semi long knives but they have to be exposed to view!
