What are the laws for carrying a knife in Philly?

[truecrimson]

There's nothing to prevent "Filthy", as you refer to it, from regulating the possession of knives. As I mentioned above, this is why we need knife preemption in Pennsylvania, as you could quite easily set foot into a municipality where knives are prohibited or otherwise regulated, without even knowing it.

To my knowledge, only one state has knife preemption (Arizona), and it was passed fairly recently.

ETA: There was thread on reforming 18 PACS 908 in the law section but it was moved to the lounge for unknown reasons. Rep. Mauree Gingrich has thus far refused to meet regarding knife laws in PA.

How strange. I grew up in NH, and we were always able to carry normal pocket knives (and OC firearms without a license).

I lived near Keene for years, attending college there part-time while scraping up enough for tuition. I get a kick out of seeing the "Ridley Report" on youtube these days. Apparently, the free state movement is trying to attract like-minded immigration back to the state for the numbers to enact some major changes.

If only I could sell my house in today's market, I'd move back in a heartbeat.

This is why it's good to have a profession which has it that you're ALWAYS on the job. If you own your own business, you're always marketing and/or doing research. If you're a psychologist, you're always observing behavior.

I'm a Systems Admin, I always need to, um, well I need my knife to, uh, open boxes and stuff. Some boxes are really hard to get in to without a knife. That packing tape is sticky.

Me too. I've found this to be most useful for packing tape

You should have your HR department update your job description as a knife being a necessary tool to your job. Just so you're covered.

Define job.

Would it encompass any occupation that one would have to pay an occupational privilege tax?

Ya know, you just hit an important point, and I doubt you realized it.

All those people that proclaim that you have a 'right' to a job, how can you have a right, when you have to pay a tax on the privilege of having an occupation?
