So let me get this straight: I can conceal a firearm on my person with a CCW, but I can't carry my 3.5" Kershaw Blur in my pocket? What kind of shitheadery is this?
The finest shitheadery in Nevada. It is fucking ridiculous. I was looking for options to carry a boot knife here. Moved from out of state, and I am a country boy and I always carried a boot knife just for survival, or back up self defense. found the gay ass laws here regarding knives.
So much for the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall NOT be infringed. Thank you for the video. Truly. Cutting tools,ie. knife, is THE MOST important survival tool of all time. My favorite combination since I was around 8-10 has been 9-12" blade bowie, semi clip point, 5-7" blade camp knife and 3-4" blade folding locking pocket knife. ALL have very good uses in the wilderness and many uses in cities.
So this is a little bit old, I live in Reno NV and I wanted to make sure that I wasnt going to get in trouble for concealing my balisong knife. So what did I do? I called the non emergency police department line and spoke to the Chief about the laws. Currently, in nevada, excluding parks and schools, the only illegal concealed knife is a machete. He confirmed that it is completely legal to carry concealed butterfly knives and even switchblades now as of almost 2 years ago.
@@StephenPStubbs This is what Im going off of: NRS 202.350 and NRS 202.265, the only concealed blades that are illegal are dirks, daggers, and machetes
@@StephenPStubbs Are you just trying to argue? I specifically said I did my research in regards to Reno, nv for the other curious people living in Reno nv so idk what your problem is or why you are trying to argue with me.
Glad I watched this before getting to Vegas. I’m from Texas and have been carrying a fixed blade concealed around my neck for 10 years. Last year I’ve been carrying the TOPS ICE dagger around my neck. A cop would freak out if he found it
Thanks for the video. I was told by a police officer that took my 4 & 1/2in knife away from me years ago that the limit was 4in. So I carried a 3 & 1/2in knife. Now that I am looking into in more. If I carry a 3in or larger knife I can end up in court. So that knife now sits at home. People think that 3in is the limit, but from this video and other places online, I have read 3in or larger... meaning the blade needs to be under 3in. 3in is not the limit, 2.99in is the limit.
Open carry it. As long as a part of the knife is visible (pocket clip), it's good. The clip must be an original component and not added on after purchase.
I could see that... I just don't like to push it. I wanted a knife like a benchmade adamas. big bulky folding knife with a strong lock. It has a longer blade and is made from D2 tool steel. But that knife is on the bigger side to pocket carry. i was thinking to carry in a sheath on my belt. if the sheath is exposed (my shirt not covering it.)I was unsure if that is "open carry" or not. Instead I went with the kershaw funxion diy. It has a carabiner on the knife itself which makes it a little easier to open carry. Even though it is just under the 3in limit. I wish this was an option for bigger knives like the benchamade adamas. There is no arguing about open carry when the whole knife is exposed.
Stephen, Can you do a video on Stand-Your-Ground and home defense pertaining to HOA property in Las Vegas? Is there any nuance to this or is it same as city property?
Making criminals out of people carrying a knife with a 4 inch blade and longer is abuse of power. How about a law requiring every member of a legislature to report in writing a detailed budget report on public spending and the reasons for it with a section that is returnable by the citizen providing an assessment of the budget’s failures and successes. Failure by the elected representative to do so within sixty days of the new year is a felony.
So Mr. Stubbs, as of 6/2021 is it legal to OPEN carry any knife or at least folding knives 3"+ with 1 sides blades? If yes, is carrying a knife with a pocket clip IWB, with only the clip visible, considered open or concealed? Thank you sir!
Great info. It appears impossible to get a permit to carry a knife and most knives fall under the illegal category. Looks like this decision needs to be up to a jury. A assisted knife can be considered a switch blade and a good pocket knife is over 3in. Most of my collection is illegal to carry and I don't really care. When a law is unjust..........
They word these laws like that on purpose so they can abuse them and abuse citizens. Just like carrying my cold steel voyager with a 5.25 blade in my pocket. I carry for self defense, looking at it its obvious it is not a work tool and has no real function other than self defense. Carrying it in my pocket alittle more than an inch of the handle sticks out and is clearly visible. An officer questioning me would take into consideration whether or not he thought i had the money to hire an expensive lawyer to fight the charge and would make a decision on whether to arrest me based on that. One more thing to take into consideration if you are ever being harassed by police over your knife if they ask you why you are carrying it do not tell them for self defense, that makes it a dangerous weapon and they would most likely use that to charge you. If you have no other reason like my knife i would just tell them because i want to.
Metro walked by me on the strip. Saw my lanyard and asked to see my knife. I thought crap here we go. Looked it over, handed it back, and said thanks for sharing.
I'm relocating to Las Vegas, Nevada soon, and I think it's HILARIOUS that you can open carry a gun/rifle YET YOU CAN'T CARRY A BIG KNIFE! I'm a gun enthusiast, and I like my knives too. Question Stephen, what happens if you defend yourself and kill an armed person with a knife that IS legal, would they say it's a "dangerous weapon"?
Stephen i spoke to metro that's what the told me. So you're saying i can carry a larger knife over 3inch blade open-carry? I'm confused now, if you can show me a link or something with info that'd be great. I usually carry a buck 119 open-6inch blade bowie.
This dude is awesome I don't give a shit about his legal ability all I know that if u record a video dual wielding twin nunchucks as the sun is setting with that bad ass song playing u ar the lawyer for me
No he ain't, because if he was he would be trying to have those crappy laws over turned , so if you get jammed up with these BS law you will be paying him some funds. .⚔️🎱🔒🎱⚔️
Is there a limit to the size of sword open carry. In California it can be the size of your leg if its in a scabbard . I wanna hit yhe strip in on Halloween in my full samurai costume can I be arrested for a sword thats longer than my leg?
You can open carry any knife that is legal to own in the state. There are only a few restricted areas where it is not legal to possess ANY knife that can be construed as a deadly or dangerous weapon. The only knives that are illegal in the state are switchblades and knives that are part of a belt buckle. I live in Nevada, by the way.
In the city of Las Vegas, can one apply for written permission from the sheriff to carry a concealed knife with a blade longer than 3”? I thought I read that somewhere but am not sure. I have a few work knives with blades slightly longer than 3” and I am frankly very upset that I could be arrested and made a felon by placing it in pocket and walking out my front door...
Carrying a sword is perfectly legal in in NV so long as you do not brandish it in a threatening manner or conceal it like walking cane swords. That doesnt mean the police wouldnt harass you for it. Ive had the cops called on me for sitting on my porch steps sharpening a broad sword. All i would tell them is i was on my own property and was not breaking any law. Dont play their game because they will try to bait you into saying something they can charge you for. Luckily today most everyone is carrying a video camera in their pocket. i would suggest start recording immediately if you ever find the police harassing you..
Who else was disappointed The Stephen Stubbs theme song ended so fast? I would hire this guy. He is like Kung Fury.

I hate it when state laws are enforced using local definitions; same with federal laws being enforced via state definitions.
If a knife is clipped on your pocket with the clip showing... Is it concealed???
I love these videos. Thanks Stubbs!

Those are the general laws for the state of Nevada. What about the local laws? You have to obey those as well.

You can conceal in Las Vegas 3 inch blade or more if you have a concealed carry license but it’s just for pocket knives
Making criminals out of people carrying a knife with a 4 inch blade and longer is abuse of power.

What about car? Can you keep a knife in a car regardless how long it is?
So can you carry a folding knife with a blade longer than 3 inches in your car as a tool?
In Scotland if you get caught with a blade more than 3inch that locks its an automatic 5years hard time lol

You could argue that they need reasonable suspicion to conduct a search or otherwise order you to show them the knife.

You can open carry a long gun, and you can open carry the long knife. Just don't conceal either.
no you can't carry a larger knife, ANY BLADE over 3 inches on your person IS illegal. i called metro pd in nevada
