The Canadian Criminal Code provides:
My original point stands, do some research and decide how to act based on your conclusions. I do not know how Canadian courts interpret the above and I do not know how every Canadian law enforcement officer interprets the above. I do know that if I was asked by an LEO why I was carrying a concealed knife, I would not want my answer to be: "Because somebody on the internet said it was ok." California is not the only state that enacts silly laws.
Canadian courts have long held the opinion that if a knife is concealed, that it is not necessarily a crime as this does not necessarily mean intent. If this was the case, any person carrying a pocket knife or work related box cutter in their coat pocket or a hockey skate in a equipment bag would then be guilty.
In any case, I'll take a chance on my country's law and as a matter of fact I will ask at the RCMP community office the next time I am there.
In the meantime, I'll keep carrying my knife the way I see fit to, so can you stop the preaching and let the thread get back on track?
