No chance I would flip in public. But I EDC everyday.

I used to be paranoid about it but I'll flip anywhere I don't see police at this point.

Even in states you can carry it needs to be visible or otherwise it will be considered concealed. I live in Oregon and carry a BM51 but it has a clip therefore not concealed. Correct me if Im wrong on any of this

You are correct. But I will inform you of something that makes me think twice about carrying a bali, even in Oregon. years ago there was a protestor, I am not sure exactly what he did to get the cops attention. When arrested, he had a folding knife with a pocket clip, not a bali. Now I am going to get into a pretty bad argument that is just a slippery slope the whole way down. Since you can "flick" a pocket knife with a brownie pop or a simple flick of the wrist (even though it is not good for the knife :mrgreen: ), it was concidered a gavity knife. Now comes the scary part, the police argued that they could not tell that it was a knife from a distance, even though visable with a pocket clip, it could have been a cell phone case or a number of things with a pocket clip. It was also stated that the knife was covered by a sweatshirt, making this poor kid with a freaking folding knife is now charged with a concealed gravity knife.
I could argue about how wrong this is for days. But after hearing about this case, I usually carry folders, go figure :roll: . As long as you're not doing anything stupid... no cop in his right mind should a have problem with you, or a knife.
State of Oregon v. Michael James Coatney Appellate Court No. A132096

Do I stroll down a sidewalk while flipping? Nope. Do I carry a bali? rarely, just cant help it somedays :pirate1: Even though I have been playing with balis since I was a little guy, I still view them as scary to most other people. I treat mine with respect and understand that other people could find flipping intimidating.

I will carry my bali on occasion, but not often. I have flipped outside, but not where there are a ton of random people watching, only where my friends were watching though I could be seen.

I always carry my best knife with me if I leave the house.

I live in Alabama, I am pretty sure they are illegal here but that doesn't stop me.

I flip publicly regardless. At the park, hospital, parking lots, on school grounds, etc.
