Is it legal to carry sword cane in Florida?

Answer 1

THE MICHIGAN PENAL CODE (EXCERPT)

Act 328 of 1931

750.227 Concealed weapons; carrying; penalty.

Sec. 227.

(1) A person shall not carry a dagger, dirk, stiletto, a double-edged nonfolding stabbing instrument of any length, or any other dangerous weapon, except a hunting knife adapted and carried as such, concealed on or about his or her person, or whether concealed or otherwise in any vehicle operated or occupied by the person, except in his or her dwelling house, place of business or on other land possessed by the person.

Answer 2

I asked the police about carrying knives. I always carried a small multi-tool for opening envelopes, plastic wrap, etc. Since 9/11 all knives must be visible to the police. No concealed carry. However, he did say that if an officer spots your sheath knife it could lead to a shake down. Depending on the officer, prosecutor, and judge you could get a felony charge for carrying an edge of any length..."CONCEALED". Not worth it. Many shoplifters carry an edge to open packages.

Answer 3

A sword cane, though usable as a cane, IS considered a concealed weapon (any item created as a weapon which is disguised or hidden so as not to allow full public view), and as such can only be carried with a concealed weapons permit in Florida.

Answer 4

Massachusetts General Laws Part IV Title 1, Ch. 269 Section 10 makes no provision to the carrying of cane swords. It's not specifically legal or otherwise; there are no general knife laws aside from double bladed or automatic (switchblade, gravity) or dirk (stiletto) knives. However, the city of Boston does have separate legislation regarding length. Always check with local authorities if you are unsure.
