, a stilletto or any knife.. What I mean is a stiletto heel or a knife. 4 inches or more. Stiletto seems to be grouped with each knife. not grouped with Dirk or Schaltblatt. There is the blade length for dirk and switching blade of an inch and a half of edge part, then a (,) then a stiletto, any knife …. The reading of this a. stiletto (single-edged edge) is therefore legal under 4 ยป So. I tried to do some research throughout the morning and, as far as I know, there is no legal definition of what makes a knife a dirk or a stiletto. Can someone find one for me? Because if it doesn`t exist, as far as I`m concerned, until your knife was made in Scotland or Italy, you`re good = P Connecticut`s knife laws emphasize the blade size of knives and especially sharp sharp knives that are dangerous. The statutes with the heading Carrying of prohibited dangerous weapons and weapons in vehicles. Punishment. The exceptions allow the possession and carrying of “any knife whose angular part of the blade is four inches or more long.” This rule for measuring blades is different from most other states.
It is not entirely clear how to measure the dimension in question. Carrying hidden knives is not illegal. However, you need to make sure that the knife actually complies with the legal requirements for transport. According to this condition, almost all types of knives are legal to own and you can easily have them in your home. Knife laws in Connecticut focus primarily on the problem of knife wearing and blade length. Yes, it is legal to own a sword in Connecticut as long as it is kept in the owner`s home. The law restricts the carrying of knives outside the home. Two Connecticut regulations restrict the possession or carrying of knives outside one`s own home. Article 53-206 applies generally, while article 29-38 applies to weapons in a vehicle.
The wording of the two Acts is similar in terms of what is restricted and the exceptions that apply. Essentially, it is illegal (Class D crime) to own an automatic knife with a blade larger than 1 1/2 inch or a knife with a blade larger than 4 inches. The provisions of this Section shall not apply (1) to officers responsible for the maintenance of the public peace in the performance of the official duties of that officer. (3) carry a knife whose angular part of the blade is four inches or more long while carrying only one sushi knife. It`s like an escape because its 3 3/4 inches are very sharp with a very sharp tip. It is a fixed blade and weighs about 5 ounces. It also has a good excuse/purpose. Most stores sell them. All this is really strange. Knives are the original “arms” and are supposed to fall under the Second Amendment.
But while it`s legal to have an AR=15 with armor-piercing cartridges in public, a knife with more than 4 inches of blade is not. Explain it. And where do they stand on the crossbows? I know you can`t use them for hunting unless you`re disabled, which makes no sense, how unfair it is to use them for hunting if you`re physically capable, but okay to shoot the animal. Can they be worn in public to defend themselves? I suspect not. I didn`t feel like reading the reviews to see if they were answered, but how old do you have to be to buy a knife? And if you have a butterfly knife with a 4-inch blade, is it legal to wear it or not? “Blade edge part with a length of four inches or more” NOT “Some knives cannot be carried (open or concealed): Blades larger than 4 inches are illegal.” It should be read as LESS THAN FOUR inches. Note that it says “4 inches or more,” which means that 4-inch blades are illegal, not just blades larger than 4 inches, as you stated in your post. I`m just trying to spare someone a headache. You are absolutely right.
A blade of 4″ is illegal. A 3.9999999″ is one. I wonder if they wrote it on purpose. It is very easy to think after reading the law, a blade of 4″ is the legal maximum. But this is not the case. This is the length of time it becomes illegal. Good point (D) anyone found with such a knife hidden on their person while legally bringing household items or objects of that person from one place to another or from one residence to another, I own two Batman knives with two blades, the two blades on a knife are each 3″ high. My nephew bought me one as a gift and I have had two for several years since then that have worn me. I`m a handyman, so I use them as work knives as they look really cool and are very useful for many tasks where knives are used, like a box cutter, cutting rope, scraper, etc.
I wear them in sight and the police have seen them and I have never asked any questions, but I thought I should surely know if they are legal. They can be used as a weapon, but that`s not why I have them. I`m just a Gadjet geek, I just want to make sure I don`t break the law in CT. I would appreciate your answer to that question. Thank you How about carrying a knife with a cutting edge of more than 4″ in a sheath ON MY PROPERTY (backyard, etc.) in the People`s Republic of Connecticut? What about the quantity? Not to mention the amount of legal knives you can carry.
