<div>New York city, just like any other foreign country, expects you to follow their laws when you are visiting. Even if your airplane diverts there and there is stuff in your luggage that is totally legal in your origin and intended destination. </div><div><br></div><div>Dale</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div id="composer_signature"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757">Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone</div></div><br><br>-------- Original message --------<br>From: gbierly via Stagecraft <stagecraft@theatrical.net> <br>Date: 05/20/2016 12:32 (GMT-05:00) <br>To: Stagecraft Mailing List <stagecraft@theatrical.net> <br>Cc: gbierly <gbierly@dejazzd.com> <br>Subject: [SML] NYC knife law <br><br><br><br>On May 20, 2016, at 10:30 AM, Kristi R-C via Stagecraft <stagecraft@theatrical.net> wrote:<br><br>> Also, it's illegal to carry a pocket knife in NYC.

I have a Nite Ize pouch on my hip at all times with a Leatherman, Flashlight, silver and black Sharpies, and a ball point pen. Would I be in violation if I wore that in NYC? Just curious how would one find out about this law and anything similar if just visiting a city…<br><br>Greg Bierly<br>Performing Arts Center Manager<br>Hempfield High School<br>____________________________________________________________<br>For list information see <http://stagecraft.theprices.net/><br>Stagecraft mailing list<br>Stagecraft@theatrical.net<br>http://theatrical.net/mailman/listinfo/stagecraft_theatrical.net<br></body></html>
