Oddly enough, in Michigan (and I know this is the case in many states) guns are barely regulated, but knives are highly illegal in most areas. For example, if I have a legally obtained firearm--handgun or long gun--I can walk around the streets carrying it or having it in a holster. As long as its visible, I am not committing a crime. Knives, on the other hand, are regulated by municipalities. I suppose this is because there isn't any national political debates about knives. Therefore, there are some places where I can be on one side of the street with my 5" blade in plain sight, but get arrested and go to jail if I cross the street to the neighboring municipality. Its a strange world.
