Carrying a pocket knife for self-defense without permission is generally illegal, especially if the blade exceeds the legal size limit. Laws vary by state, so you must check local regulations. It’s advisable to avoid carrying such items unless it’s absolutely necessary and within legal guidelines. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
