A lot of people carry it around for protection. Its not illegal, if you don't get caught.
 Okay. Yes, you can get in trouble.

ANY weapon is illegal at a school with a zero tolerance policy. I pocket knife is a weapon.
It's the length that determines whether or not it is illegal in the real world though. The law varies everywhere, so check with your local law enforcement agency. |

Well I bring a purple swiss army knife to school everyday and keep it in my purse and I never get in trouble. See as long as you leave it somewhere where people cant see it then well of course it is ok.

everything is a weapon if used correctly. my favorite is a key.
binders can be weapons too... pens, pencils, shoes, belts. why don't you read your school policies? |

One of my homegirls' hobbies is collecting, talking about, and even trading shanks. Everybody needs protection from homeless crackheads with STDs. That's what you tell 'em if you get caught.

In my old high school, you could get arrested/expelled for carrying any kind of weapon.

I wouldn't advise carrying one unless you're an outdoorsman who likes to go camping or hiking.

Why do guys insist on carrying pocket knives, especially to school? I've always wondered about this.

^ because of danger issues. this might be more of an issue in urban communities than in the subs, but gang wars, etc.
Also, don't bring I gun. Someone I know brought one, and I saw it =|, it was scary |

I believe not. But you could be suspended in a school.
It's illegal in some states. You can find a list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switchblades#United_States |

Illegal? No way. I've had a pocket knife since I was 12. I carry it for convenience rather than anything else. Plus, not like it would actually DO much in self defence.

You can actually get expelled for having any kind of weapon or weapon look alike.

Depends on the length of the blade, and the type of blade you're carrying, if you get caught with a switchblade that looks lethal you're in trouble.
If you have a utility knife or a small blade, you'll be fine. |

I keep a pocketknife on my key ring. It won't inflict much damage, but keep it out of sight or you might get suspended.
