Nebraska/Omaha knife laws I should know about?

<< < (3/3)

OnTheFly:
A couple of questions which may have been answered before on the forum.  If the knife has a clip so that the clip and/or one end of the knife can be seen, then that is NOT concealed?  In this case, knife length is not limited?

21-101. Carrying concealed weapons. No person in the City shall wear under his or her clothes, or conceal about his or her person, or display in a threatening manner, any dangerous or deadly weapon including, including but not limited to, any pistol, revolver, sling shot, cross-knuckles or knuckles of lead, brass or other meta l, or any bowie knife, or any knife resembling a bowie knife, or any knife with a switch-blade or device whereby the blade or blades can be opened by a flick of a button, pressure on the handle or other mechanical contrivance, or a pocket knife having a blade of more than three inches in length. No thing in this section shall prohibit the carrying of a concealed handgun in a manner otherwise consistent with Neb. Rev.

Wow, sounds like that would include the Kershaw knife I bought recently.  It has a lever on one end to flip it open.  Not that it would directly affect me, fortunately.  I don't visit Hastings or even drive through there.

On an unrelated note, the site I bought it from (via an ad through an NRA-ILA e-mail, no less) claimed it was a "$50" knife.  It's on Amazon for only $1 more than I paid for it from them.  Yeah, that's a high-dollar knife, alright.  ::)

D'oh!  I just realized how old this thread was.  I was browsing through and didn't pay attention to the last posted dates, heh.

Just another reason why I say that all weapons laws should not fall under criminal law.
