can any arm chair lawyers clear up some things? ( real lawyers and LEO welcome :) )
having a discussion with two people who I highly respect, some information came about that I felt was inaccurate. both these people are part of a town watch, ex military ( honorable discharge) and well versed in ccw law. both over 50 as well. they said that
1. open carry is illegal for any one who has a valid LTCF.
2. CC of a fixed blade knife is illegal if it is bigger than 4 in,
3. if confronted with a person who is wielding a knife, and I shoot them I WILL go to jail no matter what, in other words, I need to meet the level of force I am confronted with.
I did a little goggling and I can find nothing supporting this, I am talking completely illegal not uneducated officer deciding it is illegal.
for example, question 1. I am jogging day time public street, open carry hand gun cop stops me looks at my firearm sees I have LTCF and I get arrested. because I am open carrying and have my LTCF.
ex 2. I am carrying a 5 in knife iwb, jogging day time public street ( we will assume local laws do not apply) same as before cop stops me and arrest me for having a large fixed blade knife on me.
ex 3. angry person yells and starts cursing unintelligibly, pulls a knife and charges at me, I draw my gun and shoot, killing him. am I in legal trouble?
ex 3 A what If I could have escaped?
thanks in advance, any farther question on details I will provide if needed, but I left this a little ambulations intentional

^^ This ^^
They're not as well versed as they think they are.
1) Are you no longer allowed to walk or ride a bike once you have your driver's license?
2) There are no state wide knife laws, but there is a knife law in Philthy.
3) If confronted with a knife, or any other deadly weapon you may meet force with force.Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,
all you get is ridicule, laughter,
and a trip to the house of pain.

15 year LEO here;
1) Absolutely not!!!!!
2) Absolutely not, however some municipalities may have ordinances against knives. There is no state law.
3) As long as you are defending yourself, the use of deadly force is justified. The aggressor can be using a knife, hammer, big rock, golf club, etc.
