From what I've read, the laws about carrying of knives is pretty stringent in Massachusetts. My question is, are those hard plastic self-defense push daggers illegal to carry? They are not technically a bladed knife nor are they sharp on either side. They simply come to a hard point on the end.

All the cool kids carry at least two of these on them at any given time. 😎

just carry an unregistered, SBR, full auto MP5 under your jacket, way cooler.

If you are planning to use a dagger for self defense, you might want to consider why you need it in the first place. I personally carry a pocket full of rusty corn cob holders just in case.

Possess it, potentially use it, get charged with ABDW or worse. A pointed-toe boot is legal until you use it as a device to assault people. Get the point?

Just carry a firearm, much wider application, much more versatile, much more likely to actually make a difference

On a similar note, I keep a couple Brian Adams CDs in my car just in case.

I’m in my mid 30’s. I just have bad taste in music.

Your opinion might be that it’s «not technically a bladed knife», but yours is not the opinion that matters. Ask yourself how much you’re willing to pay an attorney (start with 5 figures) to try to convince a jury that a plastic knife intended to inflict knife wounds is actually not a knife, while the prosecutor uses its appearance, marketing, and obvious intended use against you.

With a large flashlight, you have a chance of convincing someone it's not a weapon.
What do you carry those for? Bicycle wheel chocks?
