I hope I've posted in the right section, I'm using my phone so browsing is kind of hard.
Well I'll start by introducing myself as joshua I am currently under the age of 18 for 2 more years, recently I received a fixed blade ka-bar marine utility knife as a christmas present from a family member. I'm aware of all of my rights and the california state law regarding fixed blade knives. Must be worn openly and etc. I'm also aware of the deadly force statues if it ever come to that point which I hope it never will.
I open carry my tool in densely populated orange county california. I've been stopped and released multiple times by local law enforcement but never detained and never had my blade confiscated (I'm aware I should ask for a receipt of item if this does happen) but I have noticed most people, police officers and some buisneses are not aware of california state law and threaten me with LEO or physical harm. This keeps me from going some places which is unfortunate but I refuse to not excercise rights that are avaible to me as a free citizen. Usually I'm bombarded with "why do you need that" or "you're too young to carry that". I've grown up carrying knives and have owned a 3in folder since I was 5 years old. A knife is a knife no matter size or how it's carried, and I don't plan on giving up the right I've had as a child for liberal sheep.
But my question is, will my age and knife in question be serious judgemental factors if ever tried in a legal case? I'm aware state law has no restrictions of age but sometimes our government has "unspoken standards" if you know what I mean.
Thank you very much, I look forward to being a member of this community.
