I have a knife question?

Question

okay so is it illegal for me (a 16 year old) to walk into a camping store or a hunting store and buy a 4-5 inch knife? i also live in new jersey

Answer 1

They guy at my Wal-mart lets anyone 16+ buy knives (folding or fixed), and I live in Indiana. As far as I know it's illegal here, but whatever -- no one says anything.

I would just say try it/ask, and if you can't, give someone a few bucks to buy one for you?

Answer 2

well i live in california, and it is not illegal for minors to buy a folding blade, no matter the size, so if you are looking at a fixed blade, it may or may not be legal, i am not too sure about the law in New Jersey, hopefully this helps.

Answer 3

In PA you have to be 18 (I think, I don't buy many knives and my parents have the cash), so I would check.
