[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1332711, member: 229"] Thinking of places like concerts or sporting events where metal detectors are there, but there's no reason that I can't carry a legal-sized OK SDA defined fixed-blade knife. I've been shaken down in CA before when I lived there and told that my knife looked too evil (it was a hooked-blade utility knife I used for cable-cutting and subsequently had on-hand as a utility knife/pocket knife). It was well under the CA limit for folding pocket knives at the time, but I had to go return it to the car. Another place would be Six Flags in TX - metal detectors, but per TX law, fixed blade knives under a specific size are allowed (they most likely wouldn't say anything about a folding knife, but if you walked in there with a fixed-blade, you're subject to private security's version of what the rules are at the time). I hate dis-arming, and often times, a fixed-blade knife would be well under-powered compared to something like a stun-gun, tazer, or pepper spray, but all those things are in metal containers and would set off a metal-detector (and could easily be rejected depending on the private security person at the time who may or may not know the rules/laws). Just seems like it would be less of a hassle, but I'm not married to the idea - just looking for feedback (and I appreciate the feedback from someone who works around serious government security GTG, but I'm not looking to get this into an airport or past a federal security checkpoint at all - no way that's worth the risk - just looking at places that are legally allowed, but subject to creative "interpretation" by someone who can keep me out, but may not know the law).
