I just picked up a nice neck knife and then of course I began to wonder if it would be illegal to wear it concealed. It has a 4 1/2" blade.
The NRS's aren't very clear about knife carry and what constitutes "concealed" etc. not to mention Municipal Codes for each city. :blink:
NRS: CHAPTER 202 - CRIMES AGAINST PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY
I did find this referrance:
202.350 1. [It] \Except as otherwise provided in
sections 2 to 11, inclusive, of this act, it\\ is
unlawful for any person within this state to:
(a) Manufacture or cause to be manufactured, or import
into the state, or keep, offer or expose for sale, or give,
lend or possess any knife which is made an integral part of
a belt buckle or any instrument or weapon of the kind
commonly known as a switchblade knife, blackjack, slung
shot, billy, sand-club, sandbag or metal knuckles; or
(b) Carry concealed upon his person any:
(1) Explosive substance, other than ammunition or any
components thereof;
(2) Dirk, dagger or dangerous knife;
(3) Pistol, revolver or other firearm, or other
dangerous or deadly weapon; or
(4) Knife which is made an integral part of a belt
buckle.
2. It is unlawful for any person to possess or use a:
(a) Nunchaku or trefoil with the intent to inflict harm
upon the person of another; or
(b) Machine gun or a silencer.
and:
(a) \"Dangerous knife" means a knife having a blade
that is 2 inches or more in length when measured from the
tip of the knife which is customarily sharpened to the
unsharpened extension of the blade which forms the hinge
connecting the blade to the handle.
Sounds to me like a "neck knife" would be a "concealed dangerous knife".:grr:
Do any of my fellow Nevadans have any insight regarding knife carry you can share?
Tnx, Sgt. SIG
