Illegal weapons for sale

Looks like you can buy illegal switchblade knives all over the city, police say they don't have time to deal with it.

you can buy them just about anywhere. if i remember correctly, you can *own* them as part of a collection, but you cannot *carry* them.

If you want to carry a knife around the easiest thing to do is to get to "Bed Bath and Beyond" and buy yourself the sharpest small paring knife they sell. Put that in your pocket and if the police find it on you tell them you are on your way to grandma's house to help her peel turnips. As long as you aren't using the knife in a commission of a crime there is absolutely nothing the cops can do about it.

Um...knives are legal to carry in the state of Maryland as long as they're within the limits. To my knowledge, there is no legal limit on fixed-blade knives if they are carried openly. Problem knives are folders over the legal limit (I believe it's 4 inches, but I cannot recall) and any switchblades or butterfly knives. The latter two are legal to OWN, but not to carry.
