If this should be in another section, please let me know. I mainly wanted to reach some of you in KY that have more experience researching KY law. My googling has not helped me clear this up.
My son is 19 and carries a folding knife with a clip in his front pocket. The clip is clearly visible. The knife has an extension built into the back of the blade that looks like a semi-circle and you just have to push that with your finger to snap the blade open.
Here is a video of a knife that is very similar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-mAgWWISoQ
I do not think my sons knife is that big. I can measure it when he gets home.
I was told by a Boyd County Sheriff's Office Court Bailiff that they had been in a class and were told to arrest someone if they found one of these when they empty their pockets to be screened.
I do not want my son to get in to trouble. He says that the salesman assured him it was legal to which I just laughed and told my son I would get another opinion as I never trust the salesman.
