Nice article. But about throwing knives. They are said to be legal, but is it legal to throw them in a public place?

Can a citizen legally own a tactical baton in New Jersey I don`t know if this site is current or legitimate (www.knifeup.com/new-jersey-knife-laws/), but it says the butterfly knife is legal to own, and if you scroll down to perform restrictions, it means there are no restrictions on wearing unless it`s supposed, that it is being used for illegal purposes. So where does it say I can`t open it? Thanks in black belt in martial arts and I just bought a 4.5 inch Karambit blade with a sheath for a belt clip, could I wear it on my belt or would it be illegal. Remember that I have a black belt in the matrial arts and had to register my hands as weapons after passing the test, I only mention this because I think I can wear it for martial arts purposes Butterfly knives are illegal in many places because of their potential for use as a threatening weapon. A person with extensive practice can use butterfly knives with immense speed, which can be the most dangerous feature of the knife.

I own a military combat knife, similar to Carol`s knife in The Walking Dead, with metal pegs. Is it legal for me to own in New Jersey? I don`t intend to take him out of my house. Yes. A child could own a katana if he really wanted to, but as long as he didn`t wear it. If you ask for the total length, it doesn`t matter, what matters is the length of the blade. 2 inches is a fine for anyone unless they have been convicted of certain crimes. If more than 3 inches, measure the width of the person`s hand (from the beginning of the pinky to the beginning of the index finger or index finger) and if the BLADE knife is less than or equal in size, it is legal. I would recommend carrying a 3 to 3.5 inch folding knife with a thumb bolt.
NJ Native here. It is illegal to carry a butterfly knife (well, really any knife) from your property. Possession of an “illegal weapon” is a major crime. The legitimate purpose is roughly fishing, hunting and emergency services. Self-defence is not a legitimate aim in our state. It`s also illegal to carry a “dangerous knife” – no matter what that means. So is self-defense generally an illegal goal? Is it illegal to use a weapon, in this case a typical 4″ folding knife, such as a goat, a shadow, etc. defensible? Or are you supposed to believe that the police can be anywhere when you need them? There are different legal defenses against knife allegations.

Most of my boats are on a sailboat, but I also use motor boats. It is recommended to carry a knife on board the ship, especially on sailboats. It should be easily accessible.
I tend to wear a folding band on a lanyard to a clip on a belt buckle. This is an important security factor. Recently, it has been suggested that a folding knife has limitations. I am thinking of an OTF knife specifically for this purpose. There are many scenarios where a knife is needed quickly and a person may be limited to using one hand. An OTF on a lanyard could be a lifeline. Does this mean that it is legal to possess and possess daggers until you have convicted these listed crimes and have a mental illness? I want to buy daggers that I will keep at home in a shop window and not bring them with me. New Jersey lawmakers have defined firearms as anything that “is readily capable of lethal use or inflicting serious bodily harm.” He goes on to say that the term gravimeters, switching blade knives, daggers, dirks, stiletto heels or other knives “dangerous”. In 1982, State v. Brown, the New Jersey Court of Appeals, noted that a person does not need to intend to use a knife as a weapon for it to be considered a dangerous knife and therefore a weapon.
This decision can make it difficult for a person to determine whether a particular knife is legal to possess, as it could be considered a dangerous knife, even if the owner does not intend to use it to harm others. However, because New Jersey law allows the possession of a dangerous knife by those who have a legal purpose for possession, any knife can be considered legal if it is possessed for a “legal purpose.” The problem is that if all of this is really important, you have already been arrested, charged, entered the justice system, denied a plea and gone to trial. Is there a certain length that I am not allowed to wear every day? I still have a pocket knife with me, but am I allowed to carry myself like a Bowie knife every day or do I have to have a legitimate reason? Yes and no butterfly knives are classified as gravitometers and from what I remember as a lon, since you don`t wear it, you`re good, you can keep it in your home, that`s for sure.

Therefore, it would then be considered legal to own any of the above as long as you have an “explainable legitimate purpose”, such as being a collector? I am not a lawyer or have no legal background, but I have done quite a bit of research on this topic for myself. OTFs appear to fall into the category of “switching blades” and can also be considered a “ballistic knife” according to the community, although the knife blade does not detach from the handle/body. (But in reality, they fall under the definition of “gravity meters” that it is illegal to own or wear in New Jersey)) The “palm rule” is not true. There are no length restrictions for knives in New Jersey. But the general “have a legitimate reason” clause makes wearing a machete dubious and perhaps illegal if you don`t cut on shrubs.
Evan Nappen has just revised his book NJ Gun Law, adding chapters on knives that demystify the ambiguity of the NJ and debunk urban myths such as “the greatness of the law of the hand of the policeman.” A spring knife is legal, if you have never been arrested in the past, you can carry it. for the sake of argument, I would like to know what makes a butterfly knife illegal. “It is illegal to own a gravity knife, switching blade, dirk, dagger, stiletto heel or any other dangerous knife with a legitimate explainable purpose” Good evening, I would like to buy an OTF (AKC F-16) knife for the Internet, but the only use I have for this is to open boxes and cut some things at home. I want one because I recently saw one on YouTube and liked it. Is it legal for me to buy one and have it ONLY at home, or is it illegal just to own it? I`ve asked some websites and they say it`s fine, but I really want to be sure. I don`t want any problems. (I am neither condemned nor mentally ill). Thank you very much for your help! New York is a different story. New Jersey`s definition of “gravity counters” includes butterfly knives, which is why they are illegal. @ADHD – ROFL. @dave – Are you really serious about your question?!? Actually both? Because if you`re going to be in a south jersey and you remember the jersey at all – to at least get fingerprints – you`ll have to go to Ancora!! 🙂 Have fun!!
