What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MA
I run through a trail that goes through woods. I often hear coyotes and am worried about them someday attacking me. I can't carry a pistol because 35 years ago I was convicted of a felony. So I would like to carry a knife; either fixed or folding.
I can't seem to get a straight answer from the local police department, but I understand that I can only carry a 2" length folding. I am worried that might not be effective in a pinch. Would someone please tell me what permits I need to get to carry one that would be of substantial length and would also allow quick access in an emergency.
Thanks.
