i dont see a problem with it in your car as long as you keep it in the glovebox. Usually as long as its consealed you shouldnt have any problems, but FYI they are illegal in pretty much everywhere.

Kinda like you have to keep a gun's magazine(clip- in slang terms) out of the gun and in a seperate place that your gun is stored inside your car(all things consider you even have a permit to carry).

i heard that the blade has to be smaller than the distance from the wrist to the beginning of the middle finger. i heard this was the general ruling for ALL knives carried by a person. but i also live in SC, so everything's ass backwards

Yes they are illegal. I still suggest for your personal safety to keep a blade in your car. Assert your rights. And dont back down. I always keep a 3.5 inch skinning knife in my Civic.
