OT: Edged weapon carry

[littlejohn]

I'll be coming home to Arlington for the 50th Reunion of Yorktown in October and I'm not clear on carrying my folding knife. Is a folder with a clip allowed as long as the clip shows outside the pocket? If not, then I'll have to carry it in my belly band with my pistol. My friend says it's ok to carry a belt sheathed knife, like a Buck, but that's not the issue. My Kershaw is a one-hander and makes me feel better in case I need to cut myself out of something.

Any responses would be appreciated and I apologize for the bandwidth.

Virginia law doesn't specifically outlaw folding knives that are carried concealed, and as with anything else in the COV, if it's not illegal then it's legal. First, read below...
