OKC Fixed Blade Carry

[bratch]

In another thread someone mentioned a 4" balde limit in OKC, surprised I went to read the statues. I found that its against the law to sell a "pocket knife" with a blade longer than 4". What I came across that really interested me was this:

§ 30-304. Carrying concealed weapons.
It shall be unlawful for any person, except a Law Enforcement Officer, a registered security officer or a person employed by an armored car firm licensed by the State Corporation Commission, to carry a concealed weapon other than a firearm, unless permitted by State law.
(Code 1980, § 30-249; Ord. No. 18218, § 2, 8-6-85; Ord. No. 23693, § 1, 9-23-08)
State law references: Similar provisions, 21 O.S. § 1289.7.

Reading this it comes across as carrying a concealed fixed blade would be illegal in OKC unless the "unless permitted by State law" covers it.

Does anybody know what the legalities are?

You were right next to the answer. Go back and look at "Code 1980, § 30-249; Ord. No. 18218, § 2, 8-6-85; Ord. No. 23693, § 1, 9-23-08" for your answer.

I've heard an officer say that you probably couldn't find an officer and a DA that would agree on what OK knife laws say.

Ive noticed it really doesnt matter what the officer says, its all on how the DA interprets it.

It sort of does matter. If the LEO doesn't arrest you, then the DA never gets to have a say in any of it.

Why are LEO's and security guys better than regular citizens?

Oklahoma knife laws make no sense.
