I work in construction. I started in the field and moved my way into the office but I still carry a knife every day as it has become habit. Here there are no problems with it. Once I alsmot walked into court with it, the metal detector cought it and they held it at the security desk for me until I was on my way out.

I am asking as I do go out of town sometimes and wouldn't want to let my habit get me in trouble in another state.
Your work would allow you to carry the knife. good common sense would rule here as always. If you go ou of town, I would leave it home and avoid any pitfalls.

As fas a checking out the truth to where you work, usually it is easy to tell the truth from horse crap. Besides, it is kinda dumb to bring a knife to a gun fight!!!
