I'm heading to New York City soon, and want to be able to defend myself if needed. Obviously my EDC is out of the picture, but I also carry a K-Bar TDI knife. It's a fixed blade, under 3" knife.Now this appears to be illegal in my home state of Delaware without a CCDW (which Delaware calls it, CC Deadly Weapon) but I do have a Delaware CCDW so I'm covered there.But I have to drive through NJ and NYC. Actually in NYC it appears to be legal but I can't quite make out NJ's law on this but at least NYC says CRIMINAL intent. I would hope self-defense is not criminal intent.It appears to be lawful if it is not used in an unlawful purpose, but since this is not a utility knife but is specifically for self defense, I fear that my intent to use it as a self defense tool may be unlawful in NJ.Basically in NYC you have to have criminal intent whereas in NJ you have to prove a lawful purpose it seems.Insane, isn't it?I'll probably leave it at home, but basically knife laws are even more insane and illogical than gun laws in many places. via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/2wUGXhW
