Spring Assisted Knives legal in NC?
Why does everyone online claim that "spring-assisted" knives are LEGAL, even in North Carolina when the knife law specifically says
"As used in this section, "ordinary pocket knife" means a
small knife, designed for carrying in a pocket or purse,
which has its cutting edge and point entirely enclosed by
its handle, and that may not be opened by a throwing,
explosive, or spring action"
*It says SPRING ACTION right there!
You are correct North Carolina clearly states that spring assisted knives are illegal.~~
