I would not put it in your pocket loaded if i was you. Could cost you your balls (if you have any ;) )

Remeber, that when you put it in your pocket, it could be considdered a consealed weapon.

technicly a knife is not a weapon, it could be used for cutting boxes, carpets etc. but if you get stopped and searched by a cop, chances are they will haul you in and make charges stick, with a knife or a spud pistol
in the upcoming presidential election, there will be several candidates who will be running, one of whom is Hillary Clinton. Now WAIT A SECOND!!! I though there was some sort of rule that prevented someone from serving more than two terms in office. Vote Against Hillary: Presidential Elections 08

A knife is a weapon, I've gotten cought with one to many to think otherwise :wink: Anything they feel like calling a weapon is consitered one, wether it's a gun a stick or your fuckin wallet chain. Chances are they would just take you home and give the spudgun to your parents, at least they would where I live.
