Unless and until the law is changed in Georgia, it is illegal to carry "Any knife designed for the purpose of defense or offense" in a concealed manner. In Atlanta, knives with blades over 3" that lock are illegal. In a school zone, any knife with a blade of 2" or more is illegal to carry at all. Enforcement of these laws is random and arbitrary. As it is currently written the Georgia code does not allow carrying a concealed knife as a weapon, even if one has a concealed carry permit for a gun. Locally, the Chief of police in my county has stated that he will not bother those who carry concealed knives if they have a gun carry permit. On the other hand, his officers have repeatedly harassed those carrying firearms in restaurants even when they were lawfully carrying them. The public is so confused, we don't know what to do. I always have a knife on me, and often a gun, too. If I get busted, I'll just have to fight in court. Of course, I can walk down the road or go into businesses carrying a bowie knife in plain view, according to the law. But who knows what the cops would do?
