And yet we still have violence. Some people don't care about words. When I was sleeping outside, homeless, A couple young adults/teenagers tried to set me on fire. How would you have solved that with an open mind and kind words? How about the mugger who stabbed me before asking for my wallet? Luckily it was winter and I had a puffy jacket on. I felt the knife brush against my side under the jacket and it cut my shirt as well. So so so close.

Over 4 inches is fine if its a tool and you have reasonable use for it. I can carry a large machete across town if I am going to work clearing land of brush and such. I can also carry a larger knife for hunting/fishing purposes as well as sport or outdoor survival such as camping or hiking. I do wood carving so I often have a few knives, one over 4 inches, I am also looking for a small carving axe/hatchet for spoons/bowels and removing excess wood. It is legal for me to carry the knives and small axe to the waterfront downtown in order to carve boats and such on the pier.

You can carry any knife under 4 inches, except I believe double edge dagger. Over 4 inches is ok if its a tool that you use. So if you do landscaping you can carry a machete or a scythe. I have a 5" knife I use for woodworking and carving as well as camping and fishing. It is legal to carry but your millage may vary with the officer and you may take the ride but the charge won't stick. You also never call a knife a weapon or refer to it as self defense, it is a tool and that's important legally.

Perhaps cardboard/foam "Pitchfork" props with some signs stating that due to Eversource price gouging real and functional pitchforks could not be afforded. Other signs that say "Thanks to Eversource we can't even afford to eat cake!"
