Ok if anybody who lives in Michigan reads this can you answer this question.
Right now I am currently 17 and for awhile now I've been thinking about getting a knife to carry if I get jumped by a bunch of people or something because a few days ago I almost got into a fight with like 10 to 15 people now usualy I'm pretty good at taking care of myself agaisnt 3-4 people since I have lots of martial arts experience but 10 to 15 people is a bit much and I know would've stood a better chance if I would've had a knife on me since I live in one of the worst areas of Detroit I was just wondering how old would you have to be to carry a Tactical/Combat knife not a pocket knife a actual Knife for Tactial and combat situations
According to the statute, there is no age limit. But the knife itself must be:
1. Less than 3 inches (supposedly only if you are have "unlawful intent," but cops usually consider possession of big knives unlawful intent).
2. Single-edged, not double
3. Not a switchblade
4. Must fold
5. Don't carry at school
Details to the statute are in the link below.
Word of advice if I may:. Knives are not good for self-defense. Why? Well when you stab somebody, they don't die or fall over right away! Ask the scar on my gut. It took me 10 minutes before I passed out, and I'd already beaten my attacker senseless by then. So for defense, I use OC spray and some kind of blunt weapon, like a baton (don't know if they're legal in MI) or a solid walking stick.
Combat/tactical knives are for sneaking up on an enemy sentry and slitting his throat before he knows what hit him, not defending oneself.
