Quick question I’m going to Ram’s Head Live tonight and I’ve never been there before. Their website states no weapons. Does anyone know if they consider small 2-1/2” folding knives weapons?
Are small EDC knives considered wespons

why take a chance on:
1, Denied admission
2. Knife confiscated
Leave it at home.
Just my opinion

I may do that. The
reason for the question is that I’m not driving and will be taking a cab and walking to meet up with friends nearby.
I think my biggest fear is getting kicked to the ground by some hoodlum and not having anything to defend myself.
I’ve actually had a good knife confiscated at an event in Philly so now I have number of “cheap” Kershaw’s that I keep. I don’t want to just give them away so I was wondering if anyone knew how they treated them.

I would say you are better off assuming they consider them weapons. I went and saw Lamb of God there a number of years ago. They were confiscating knives and karabiners from peoples keychains. Freaking keychains. I suppose to prevent them being used as projectiles.
Leave it at home or do what I do, hide it somewhere outside without being seen and retrieve it later.

I suppose you could take a good non metallic knife or dagger that will go through metal detectors.
One of my favorites is a big deer bone dagger I carved from a leg bone.
Some may take the chance but you might risk getting kicked out if they find it.

So, since pepper spray and teasers/stun guns can now be carried legally in Maryland (correct me if I'm wrong) dos that mean they are OK, since they don't seem to be considered a concealed weapon?

More importantly, "no weapons" means "no safety". Stay away.

We Were there a few years ago and I just took my usual waking stick. It's a nice stout blackthorn from Ireland, but any cane/walking stick will do. They can't say no because of the Americans With Disability Act, and can't even ask what's wrong with you. All you have to say is "I'm partly disabled and I need a cane." That's it.
Up until a few years ago when we were residents of the Peoples Socialist Republik Of Marylandistan, I always had a stout walking stick with me. Blackthorn, hornbeam, hickory, all good. They even go right onto airlines with no problem. Wood is your friend.
Another thing you can carry is a AA mini mag light. It makes a fine fist load and you cause the end sticking out as a impact weapon with a hammer fist. The end of that minimal will mess up some low life night if used right. And it's not a weapon; it's a flashlight! they give you any crap on it, tell them it gets dark every night.
With the AA mag light in a pocket and a cane in hand, your'e pretty set for repelling an assault.

Thanks for the feedback. If this wasnt the only chance I’m going to get to meet up with some old friends I wouldn’t go.
Is pepper spray considered mace? I got a 6-pack from some amazon deal and they were basically $4 each. So I would consider just stuffing one in my boot and taking my chances.
The walking stick is something I’ve never thought of before. It’s a great idea in general especially when flying.

Public vs private. A private business can still kick you out for almost any reason.
They may be legal, but any private venue can decide what's allowed into their facility.

Overthinking things.
Just about every American carries a great improvised weapon with them every day, that's completely overlooked by LE/Security - Keys. Nice jagged (sharp) points, and relatively pointed shape - you have a slashing/stabbing implement on you almost everywhere you go. Or just keep a pen/pencil with you - another great stabby tool that's completely ignored by the majority of the population.

It's amazing what damage an all metal pen can do to throats, eye sockets, mastoid glands. They're just hanging out there in your pocket.
