"I was at a Public library in New York once, and I wanted to check out a book.

The librarian looked at me and said, 'first you have to prove that you're a citizen of New York'.


So I stabbed him.

I think maybe there is a distinction between carrying one on a belt & concealing one?

Knives are legal, every kitchen has them. It's about concealing them as you walk around the subway, same as guns.

I don't think a pocket knife is illegal to carry.

You don't need a special license or anything to buy one lol
If you will, so will I
