Going to Boston what can I carry that won't get me in trouble?
« on: August 17, 2010, 08:26:09 PM »
The subject line says it all, I need to know if there are any laws that would keep me from carrying a knife. I know you need a permit for Pepper spray and firearms are right out. So can anyone site the law on knives in Mass.? Thanks for any help

Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage.

I think the law states 2-1/2" blade length is maximum you can carry.  I can't find any information at hand though.  I carry a small Kershaw with a spring assist blade.  I think it's the Scallion by Ken Onion.

Boston may have additional ordinance restrictions.  Best bet, call the MA state police.

For the trip I would develop the need to use a cane if you are worried about self-defense in Bean Town.

Unfortunately I have to use a cane from time to time due to arthritis in both knees and heel spurs.With all the walking I'll be doing I will have one with me.

Well, at least they beat the Yankees? :-\ Still, the cane is ideal. No DA can complain. Particularly in PC Boston. I'd reccomend oak with a nice bronze knob. A shilleaghleigh boyo. Dinnae ye kin?

I'm going to half way stick to my guns. Its saill eille in proper gaelic. The Scots and Irish translations are different. However, to give Path his due, I am now illiterate in four languages. It should, in Scot's translation, have been shilleagh. So, I still lose, but points for effort? :-[ Anyway, its a great honking big stick that you can carry legally. ;D
