Laws are for little people
An image of the Governor of California breaking the law.
Update: Seems to be some disagreement on the legality of the knife.

Little knives for little people, big knives for big people. Our system is called “equality under the law”. I don’t know why.

Californians can have folding knives longer than 6″. So he’s good to go.

Isn’t he in his own home there, the governor’s mansion?
Knife laws usually apply to carrying in public, not in private. They haven’t banned kitchen knives, even in DC.

Olav is correct. Fixed blade knives over 3″ have to be open carried, but folding lockers have no limit as long as they aren’t switchblades (or a number of other odd categories) under California law. Sacramento might have worse local laws, though. I don’t know.

Yeah. . . I’d like to see that be spring-loaded, and opened. Jump right out of your hand.

If he’s in the Gov’s mansion, then he can wave any-sized knife around. Unlike guns, CA laws about knives only pertain to public carry and display.
Now, we might split hairs and say that the Gov’s mansion is a public building…
Cheap-ass knife, though. You’d think he’d at least have a decent Waidblatt or something.

He broke no law. He can have a five-foot sword in his office if he wants. Or a twelve-foot even.
And, yes, the knife is a Pakistan-made piece of crap. But … you know … all you need from a knife is for it to cut. When I was young, I looked for the secret of steel. And the secret is “Can it be made sharp?”

But no disagreement that he and the CA legislature turned the 7th largest economy in the world into a 3-rd world cesspool with junk bond credit status.
I hope he’s just looking for a sword big enough to fall on.
