Implying the cops know the law.
Sat him down in front of the puter
It was a private group on Facebook. His info is accessible. That's how I know.
Sadly, there are many LEO's that ignorant on the road
I was in a pawn shop a while back, city cop, county deputy and a state patrol were in there also, another customer asked about open and CC. Got 3 different answers. I don't remember which officer said what, but answers were
1 "you need a permit to CC but not to open carry"
2 "you need permit for both"
3 "permit for CC, but open carry is not allowed in any case"
Lets hope when or if it comes down to it, we get one who knows the correct answer.
1 "you need a permit to CC but not to open carry"

This is exactly right - ask and you will get multiple answers - learned a long time ago to carry parts of the code with me. In keep a file in my car - I KNOW - most of you and most cops dont give a **** - I do.
Carrying a legal reference with you isn't a bad idea. That's why we wrote this book.
It's got all the gun laws of the State of Georgia and laws about knives and other weapons, too.
No, it doesn't have all the local ordinances of each city and county (that's what Municode is good for!) but it does have Code section 16-11-136, which is a form of preemption that applies to knives, but not quite as strongly as 16-11-173 preempts local laws on firearms.
16-11-136 is a fairly new law, passed in 2012. It applies to all knives regardless of blade length. It applies to "any cutting instrument with a blade."
This is covered on pages 110 and 111 of the book.
