What city do you live in? I thought Chicago was the toughest city for knife laws and a blade under 2 inches is still legal there. Who took Chicago's crown?

UPDATED:

I did a little research and it seems that Pell City, Alabama has taken Chicago's crown:

  Sec. 13-25. - Weapons — Carrying off of one's premises.

  It shall be unlawful for any person to carry off of his premises any knife or
  instrument of like kind or pistol within the city; provided, on the trial for
  such offense the defendant may give in evidence that at the time of carrying
  such weapon or pistol he had good reason to apprehend and attack, which may
  be taken in mitigation of the offense by the judge in trying him; provided
  further, this section shall not apply to persons who are permitted to carry
  such weapons by the laws of the state.

I need to go back through Alabama state law and see how they handle chefs and people that hang sheetrock. I would love to know the back story on this ordinance. As it stands this ordinance seems like an egregious restriction on commerce.

Do you live in Pell City? I would love to hear if you ever see any ramifications of this ordinance in daily life.
