I read the knife laws laws... CHAPTER 269. CRIMES AGAINST PUBLIC PEACE: Section 10, but I am unsure on the specifics.

I am a 16 year old girl and I live in the Springfield area so when I go to the movies late at night I usually carry a 2.5 inch knife. I don't know what kind of knife it is, it folds open, but not by a spring, it is not a gravity knife. I am not disturbing the piece or anything. I don't bring it to school either, so there is no reason to quote section J. I just want to be careful, women get mugged all of the time.

Is it illegal to carry? Is it illegal to carry it concealed? What is considered concealed?

Nothing wrong with the knife unless you use it on someone, but plenty wrong with you. WTF are you going out "late at night" to a movie, I assume by yourself. You admit to carrying a knife and you know "women get mugged all the time". What's wrong with you. Stay home late at night or go with a large group of responsible people. Think Kid or you wont be around to enjoy your grandkids

do you know how to use a knife? any training? if not, you're just carrying a weapon someone will take off you and potentially use against you while they're disturbing the "piece"

Is "disturbing the piece" the kids' new way of saying unholstering or breaking leather?

A folding pocket knife. How Ghetto-Fab. If you just carry a knife, with no kind of training in its proper use as a defensive weapon, odds are pretty good that it will wind up being used by your attacker to (a) aid in removing your clothing and/or (b) perform some amateur cosmetic surgery on your person. You'd be better off with a good pair of running shoes.

You're 16. Stay home and study. If you want to go out at night and have such fear for your safety, try going to a gym or taking karate lessons. Get an FID & some training in pepper spray deployment, and when you turn 21 get a LTC and some firearms training. Don't place yourself in situations where you will be at a disadvantage.

I really hope that she doesn't get an FID card or an LTC...she would be on here asking what she can and can not do with it...

I registered just so that I could clarify some things about my simple post.

First off, I am not from Springfield, I am from the Springfield area. That is what it said in my original post. I am from a small town in the area.

I am not going to the movies by myself, I am going with groups of friends and I am not going to "stay home and study" cause some people are advising me to live in fear of what could happen.

I don't need your comments trashing me.

I wrote piece instead of peace... fuck you... I messed up...

I just wanted a simple question answered, I didn't need this.

Ooooh, this is gonna get good!

Tell you what, if you are dead set on carrying a knife, just make sure it isn't double edged (ie: a dagger or stilletto). That would be considered a dangerous weapon in and of itself and will get you in trouble.

Telling people to fuck off here, as pissed as you are, isn't really going to be good. Capiche? Good luck in your search for an edged weapon. Maybe one of those "First Blood" knives that Stallone carried, you know with the compass and the matches in the handle?
