I want to carry a Dagger. I have been looking into it and I really cant find anything that says I cant in the RCW's.
Only thing I have been able to find is:
http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9.41.250
Furtive:
1. taken, done, used, etc., surreptitiously or by stealth; secret: a furtive glance.
2. sly; shifty: a furtive manner.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/furtively
Intent:
1. something that is intended; purpose; design; intention: The original intent of the committee was to raise funds.
2. the act or fact of intending, as to do something: criminal intent.
3. Law. the state of a person's mind that directs his or her actions toward a specific object.
4. meaning or significance.

Does "intent to conceal" mean To conceal or just have the intention to conceal it while carrying it? If It is already concealed before I leave home does that fall under intent? Or will this have to be an open carry object?
I understood it that I cant for example carry a dagger in my hand so nobody can see it and then hide it in my pocket.
Also I was not able to find any RCW that says anything about the length of the blade.
If anybody has any information that I am missing I would appreciate it.
I Also would like to read others opinions about carrying a dagger.
