After getting a little advice about carrying a knife here I did a quick search of local ordinances and found that, as most people here probably carry some type of pocket knife of some type, you all are LAWBREAKERS!
Southgate bans carrying a knife concealed. No length is specified. You could carry it open I guess but that won't help much because everyone drives and you can't carry a knife in a vehicle concealed or otherwise. Again, with no length exceptions that means all knives.
Same goes with Ann Arbor except they exclude a knife carried by someone who is fishing. I guess the issue got brought up once when fisherman was confronted while carrying his fillet knife. If you're in Southgate with your fillet knife, however, you're out of luck. You can't have that bugger in your car bud.
If you are a CPL owner and carry a knife on you on a daily basis and you get stopped and tell them that you are carrying a pistol like you should, how do they disarm you? Do they just ask for the gun or do they pat you down?
Can you refuse a pat-down as that is a form of a search and, having disclosed the pistol properly they have no reasonable cause to search you or your vehicle for additional weapons?
Scary stuff boys, scary stuff. I've been breaking the law all the time and not even knowing it. I wonder what other laws I break on a daily basis.
