how old to carry switchblade/auto knife?

[Bassoneer]

Now that we CAN legally own and carry automatic knives, what is the minimum age for ownership and to carry one?  This is just to know the answer when my 18-year old asks...

 

Thanks, B

Indeed you have.  Effective July 1, all restrictions on knife carry were removed.  Any type, any length, with the exception of places like schools and such. 

 

And to address the above... I'm not aware of age restrictions either, though that may be buried somewhere in the TCA.

It is now legal for anyone who can legally own a firearm in TN to carry that firearm, loaded, in their vehicle without a permit. Edit...beat by 23 seconds Edited July 2, 2014 by KKing

It's TN state law that changed.

That's where the law was passed.

I've had to check the laws of several other states as I travel in 3 other states on a regular basis.

There are no age restrictions in TCA weapons section regarding carry of any knife; perhaps there's something in another section regarding juveniles, couldn't say.

 

Note that all knives are still banned in schools, which includes colleges/universities too if push comes to shove, which of course it would most likely do over a switchblade I'd imagine.

AFIK, you can't carry them across a state line. STOOPID federal knife laws.

Nah, it bans that for reasons of commerce, not personal possession.

So, I can carry in KY as long as I have a permit?

I don't know KY law, you need a permit to carry a switchblade there?

 

If so, then you have one, and KY likes it, so I reckon you can.

To carry concealed, yes. Their permit is a concealed deadly weapons permit. I reckon I could ask one of the police up there. If there's no federal restriction, it just comes down to reciprocity between KY and TN. I now we have that with guns.

Here's federal law. It's not very long. No prohibition regarding non-commercial possession crossing state lines that I can glean.

I saw the term "Indian" in that more than once.  If the PC zealots in this country knew how racist United States Code is they've have Congress tied up for years.  :lol:

;)  Hell, worst insult is that "Indian Lands" still aren't -- they're federal.
