I sure would like to see our knife laws improved.
Generally, I agree completely with your policy observations.
There is no length requirement per se for violation of the concealed weapon statute - there is a length requirement for possession on school property (I think it's "not more than three inches", but I can never remember whether it's "not equal to or greater than" or "not less than" or what) - and dirks and bowie knives, which are prohibited for concealed carry are sort of loosely defined by length, though shape of the blade is more important. A folding knife of any length that will fit in your pocket is generally ok.
I've heard this thing about "constitutional carry" a lot, and have never quite figured it out - the constitutions of the U.S. and Virginia both have provisions that ensure that individuals have an absolute right to carry weapons with no restrictions at all. Problem as I see it is getting the courts to enforce the provisions that already exist.
knife puns...I hate the knife laws here just because you can't get a definitive answer on them. The it looks like this type of knife is pointless. Ask a younger person if they know what a dirk is. A lot may know Bowie knife but some of the other terms aren't as well known. The 2nd was not just about firearms. I believe there were still some people fighting back then with swords.

Yep! You have to be pretty sharp to come up with them!:banghead:
I get the point.
That one cuts deep.
Grape is always on the cutting edge of jokes.
Ya, but that one is just walking on a thin edge.
If it wasn't, it would be pretty dull here.
Makes me so glad(ius).
Okay, that one's a stretch. Maybe you should bow(ie) out of the pun contest.
To give some comment on the OP's question, I saw ALL KINDS of things at the gun show that, AFAIK were illegal to have.
The TRULY illegal - certain auto conversion items, silencers, very high intensity lasers, less than 18" shotguns, bump keys, I did not see.
Full Autos and Sound Suppressors (Silencers) are legal to possess in the Commonwealth as long as they are registered with ATF and with the VSP.
