So I live in Shelby County Tennessee. I am really in to stilettos and try to keep one on me at all times that is no longer than 4 inches which is the max legal length for my state. Here is my hangup on the law. First, it seems to be very hard to find law regarding knives in Shelby County Tennessee. I would look at State laws but those are basically void at this point from what I am gathering. Apparently even though you may have a state law, local law is what it boils down to. Here is the law that I can find for my area as of 2006. (actually I think this is state law) Anyways....(I can't find anything about my county laws)
(14) "Switchblade knife" means any knife that has a blade which opens automatically by:
(A) Hand pressure applied to a button or other device in the handle; or
(B) Operation of gravity or inertia
So I use spring assist. How likely would I be to convince an office on the scene about the spring and that it does't open up automattically just at about 45 degree angle until the spring kicks in? Also, I guess I don't need one that says stiletto on it since stiletto is also mentioned in a part of the law I didn't post. I didn't not post anything that was not relavent. Thanks guys.
