In a lotta states tho if you have one while acting sneaky they can autocharge you with a felony. But if you got em in yer house it don't matter. You gotta practice a lot though and its real fukken nerdy

What I don't understand with EDC dorks is the need for 3 different flashlights.

Like they have a gun, tactical murder knife, survival paracord iphone case, keychain with like 8 multi-tools, 3 flashlights. I get it, you're prepared if Hans Gruber takes over the Best Buy in Nakatomi Tower but the flashlights make no sense.

I also noticed that the exhibited goon is not carrying a knife. At first I thought maybe the "Minius B" was a type of knife, but now I think its Mini USB.

I've carried a pocket knife since I was a kid. Probably since around 6th grade to my memory. Everyone should carry a nice folding knife. Anything from a one hand opener to a swiss army knife to an Old Timer. Just keep it under 3" so you don't get accused of having a weapon.

My favorite knife is the kind that has a fork and a spoon on it because it has a fork and a spoon on it. I have heard of some knifes that come with sporks, but I find them excessive.

There's a lot of places, mostly in the Southwest, where the same applies if you're caught carrying around wire cutters.

If you have them in your home or part of a toolkit, it's okay, but roaming around with them solely, it looks like you're aiming at doing some trespassing.

If you carry a gun it's probably because you're a paranoid cretin so it's not about are you likely to need a knife it's about is there any possible situation imaginable where you might want a knife in addition to a gun, including those solely existing in the tequila nightmares of a white nationalist mental patient

All the lock pick sets are sold by shady third party guys who mislabel everything and hate the gubmint and ship in plain envelopes etc etc

I ordered a set for my bro as a christmas gift along with a little lock mounted in clear plastic so you could see the pins, it was kinda cool, I'm sure it put me on a list or something, oh well

Lock picking is a good skill to have. It's kind of hosed up that that most people don't know how a device(their door lock) works even thought they all use it 2-4 times per day.

From a pre-draw stance, they sure are.

Really, knives are horrifying. Everyone take one Kali/Arnis/Escrima class, and you will realize that you have no idea what they can do. Guns win > 30 ft, but inside of that, knives are king. They are god-status in the hands of people who know how to really use them, and still scary as gently caress if some idiot happens to attack you with one.

Knives are tools. They are handy for opening boxes and those stupid blister packages. I usually have one on me all the time, like I have my phone and my watch.

you would get stabbed repeatedly, as the tueller zone is a universally scientifically replicable phenomenon that real-world police forces take into consideration, and is thus not busted by a clip from a tv show or your obese bravado
