Here in OK it has to be 4" or shorter and not concealed, but then if you are in one of the 3 big city's chance are someone is going to call the police. In rural area it is not so bad, we say it is for work /ag or hunting. In November we ill get to have open carry of firearms if you have a CCW permit. For me that is great when I am anywhere except the city--I don't want to be a target and I have no intention of using my retirement money to be a poster child. Funny thing is I can carry a pistol legally but not a auto knife. Californian's supposedly can carry a sword but not a gun.

I also find it interesting that some of the countries with Viking/Teutonic/Norman/Celtic heritages are the most limited on what they can carry1
