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).

Rep Power: 0 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 *** backwards

Rep Power: 0 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.

Rep Power: 0 Actually, in Arizona you don't need to have a permit to carry a gun anywhere. Your gun can be fully loaded and in your car...but it has to be in plain site. If it is under your seat or in your glove box, it is considered a concealed weapon. We are even allowed to carry them loaded, in holsters in to the grocery store if we wanted to...it just has to be in plain site. I don't know about knife laws here though. I feel safer with my gun than I do a knife anyhow.

Rep Power: 0 No need to slink at all, just hush up with the insults/name calling is all. Healthy debate all you want, you are highly intelligent and I do appreciate all of it besides the bs playground on the school grounds trash talk, you know?

Rep Power: 0 I gotcha and sure, they can be funny when it is not you he is outright insulting and I might of not touched it if he stopped after one peep, but, he kept it going and that is so not cool, you feel me here? And, where did it say that god was showing off when he made my car bra and who the hell asked you your opinion anyway? LOL Actually, the bra is off my car now, I always had it on for my business has be driving to different cities all the damn time and hell no to paint chips which are very common in that area on the highway especially. Okay, we are way off topic now, so back on topic, but, as always, any valid concerns/questions from anyone can be Pmed to me by anyone.
