Depends on why you are carrying a knife. Put a Swiss army knife in
your pocket with the specific intent of using it to peel your lunch
time apple and you don't have a problem. Carry the same knife to
"defend" you and your girfriend and you are, in the eyes of the law,
"going armed in public," and could be dragged in front of eh
magistrate to face the music. This happened to one well intended young
bloke in Brisbane a few years ago. Some cop decided to poke his snout
into the contens of teh young fellows pocket and IF said young bloke
had said the knife was to peel lunch time fruit he would have been
safe. Instead he claimed the knife was for self defence.
