    Default Re: a big knife ?

    As long as you do not conceal it on your person or in a place in the vehicle where you have easy access to it, you should be fine in CA.

    If you choose to carry such a blade on your person without being concealed, be prepared for police contacts as people will likely call about the scary looking dude with the big blade. And, some cities have ordinances against the public display of dangerous weapons, swords, knives, etc.

    In general, you should be okay if it is not concealed and accessible on your person or within the vehicle.

    Here in Montana, the law is the same. You can wear it but be prepared for the unwanted attention it will bring, specially by the dudes with a chip on their shoulders. During hunting season or when your in the forest a knife that big is never questioned, but it certainly will be in a more civilized setting.
