Carol asks…

are slingshots and pocket knives legal in new york state?

in long island: what are the legal laws regarding the purchase, use and carry of these items? p.s. i need to buy the pocket knife for hiking that i am planning to go on in a couple of days.

Our pick of the answers:

In New York City and surrounding boroughs, including some counties on Long Island, any pocket knife with a blade over 4 inches long is considered a "dangerous weapon" and public carrying is illegal, whether the knife is concealed or not. A knife with a locking blade may also be considered a "switchblade." Slingshots may also be considered to be "dangerous weapons." When I was at the Merchant Marine Academy, a classmate was arrested in the City for possession of a sailor's knife with a marlinspike which was slightly over 4 inches long. He got a big fine and nearly got kicked out of school. So I suggest that you get a knife with a blade less than 4" long. And do NOT take it to school. New York - Penal Law Section 265.01. A person is guilty of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree when: (1) He possesses any firearm, electronic dart gun, electronic stun gun, gravity knife, switchblade knife, pilum ballistic knife, metal knuckle knife, cane sword, billy, blackjack, bludgeon, metal knuckles, chuka stick, sand bag, sandclub, wrist-brace type slingshot or slungshot, shirken or "Kung Fu star"; or (2) He possesses any dagger, dangerous knife, dirk, razor, stiletto, imitation pistol, or any other dangerous or deadly instrument or weapon with intent to use the same unlawfully against another; or (5) He possesses any dangerous or deadly weapon and is not a citizen of the United States... Criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree is a class A misdemeanor. - 265.04. It shall be unlawful for any person under the age of sixteen to possess any... Dangerous knife... A person who violates the provisions of this section shall be adjudged a juvenile delinquent. [Found unconstitutionally vague by Superior Court, 1982; finding reversed by Court of Appeals, 1983]
