Knife laws in Ohio - a question that I need a polcie officer or lawyer to to answer..

I read the first two pages so if this has already been said then disregard:

Ohio cops would prosecute under ORC or city code, not USC. USC has no bearing on carrying a knife, regardless of any 2.5" rule imposed by the USC. The feds aren't going to sweep in and take over some misdemeanor CCW of a knife case from local LE.

If you are carrying a concealed knife (or other weapons as identifed by the OP) and you are a piece of shit and are actively breaking the law, it'll probably be a CCW charge.

If you are carrying a concealed knife and you are a decent human being, it'll probably not be.

Since, as the OP articulated, the law is not clear cut; it leaves room for the officer and prosecutor to have some discretion on the matter.

So since this is a knife thread and to get back on topic. I was at the gun show today and got to check out some of the spartan knifes. Very well made and are unreal how sharp they are for their size. If not for the sticker shock pricing I would almost have bought one. But man are they pricey(for my cheap ass that is)
