Sounds like StagLefty and I are on the same page here (and both left-handed!)... glad I'm not the only one confused by the laws at least!
Chad and jscwerve: I agree about CHP permits not covering knives, especially after the change from "CCW". Still wondering if this has been tested in court in the last 10 years...
Again, looking for real legal precedent to get answers. I too think that might be the case, but I'd rather know.
Keep it coming folks!
