Another Benefit of Bruen - Automatic Knives

[crolfe1984]

Yet another reason to get your Maryland W&C permit.

2010 Maryland Code :: CRIMINAL LAW :: TITLE 4 - WEAPON CRIMES :: Subtitle 1 - General Provisions :: Section 4-101 - Dangerous weapons.

Switchblades, automatics, and OTFs can now legally be carried with your new permit. Per subsection 4-101: "A holder of a permit to carry a handgun issued under Title 5, Subtitle 3 of the Public Safety Article." Time to shop for that sweet Microtech or Benchmade you've always wanted!

As are nunchucks, swords of various types, brass knuckles, and ninja stars

Can I open carry my Katana? Trying to conceal it might make folks ask questions about my unusual endowment. Well, maybe more than usual.

Would Machette be street legal in MD now?

This is my place holder...

 

[hogarth]

But not fixed-blades, right? Or am I wrong?

 

[foodpoison]

I believe you're wrong, but I'm not positive about that

 

[INMY01TA]

Would automatics be allowed in Ocean City and Baltimore city with the permit? I know certain knives are otherwise prohibited there.

On the concealed carry part for auto knives? That's legit.

From ATKI, not updated for the recent shift to "shall issue".

Maryland CCW Licensees​

Individuals who hold a Maryland CCW license may also conceal carry an automatic knife or other “weapon” restricted by § 4-101 Dangerous weapons. Maryland is a “may issue” state where CCW licenses are elusive. The state is not a party to any reciprocity agreements.

Fixed blades are legal with the permit

You can wear a fixed blade sheath knife on your belt now. It's not illegal. There's a guy who comes to my Starbucks almost everyday and it's awesome to see people's faces melt off. LOL

Yeah, I have no need to do that. But good to know I'll now be able to carry my small fixed blade concealed. Thanks all.

I'm just in this for the nunchucks :-)

Consider an automatic knife added to my EDC once approved. Need to look over the local ordinances

A group buy might be an idea, have someone jump the border to retrieve said purchased (pick up in store) contraband. I think once in state they can be mailed within state, for those of some distance from the smuggler.

I'm just repeating something I read here a long time ago about that. Something to the point of since the fixed blade itself was concealed by the sheath, it would/was considered a concealed weapon by the Popo.

I know, I know... that sounds like BKOS (Battered Knife Owners Syndrome).

Plenty of online stores have no issue shipping an automatic knife to MD.

Plenty of online stores have no issue shipping an automatic knife to MD.

And plenty of members here have no issue carrying an automatic knife, even without a carry permit.

Said the pot to the two birds with one stone. Or whatever the saying is.

Wouldn't that mean a 6" barrel revolver in a cowboy holster would be "concealed" because the barrel and cylinder were concealed by the holster? Watch the liberal heads explode.

Does anyone here EDC a Benchmade Claymore? I keep seeing them come up in the $179 range with .mil discount but the only Benchmade auto I've had experience with is the AFO which I had open in my pocket due to the oversized firing button.
