| Defensive Knives & Other Weapons Most people that carry a gun also carry a knife or other weapon as a backup. Finding a good blade is often harder than finding a good pistol or revolver. |

Stupid GA knife laws
We're traveling this weekend, and even though my handgun carry permit is valid in GA, I can't carry a knife with a blade longer than two inches, and I have to choose something more "utility" looking because I cannot carry a knife for defense.
![]() Well, fine then. My Spyderco Cricket will do. I'll just have two guns to go along with it. ![]()

Betty,
The 2" only applies in school safety zones. Everywhere else it is 3". I wouldn't worry about. I don't know many GA cops that would even care. I guess there is always that odd chance you could run into one, but it ain't likely. |

I agree with Rob: sounds like a situation made for the HAK.

I and probably 80% of the guys around here in Savannah carry knives clipped to our back pockets. I work downtown and see cops all of the time. I don't think anybody will give you any problems. |

2" is a little small (what a stupid law...) but it's still enough to hit most of the important stuff. :D

If I say that---"If your gonna carry a little' tiny, weenie 2" blade,go ahead and just carry a boxcutter(they are also alot cheeper)" Will I get in "trouble" ? That's right, I got in "trouble" the last time that I said it,didn't I.------- Well----forget it then. P.S. OBTW, take a good look at the knife/weapon that is in the pics that Kenpotex has linked. I have no problem calling that a KNIFE/WEAPON !! Them ol' time knife fighters knew a real knife when they saw one.---------

I agree with Hawkeye. I lived in Georgia for 30 years and carried a 4" folder clipped to my back pocket for many of those years. Don't worry about it.
