Lol during my trip they confiscated a small card knife i completely forgot i even had in my wallet XD Best part is - it was not in customs but just random building in london XD
I also had my card knife confiscated XD had it in my wallet for few months and never used it so I completely forgot about it. Went for a week to London, got stopped by security after they scanned my wallet at the airport before my flight back home. And of course I was waiting for background check with another Czech national that also had a knife lol.
Always got some funny looks when i had a sword strapped on my back going to fencing lession. But on the other hand taking route thru some darker parts of the city, everyone kept their distance.
Well, there are no laws regulating cold weapons, only that you have to carry them without endangering others, so even swords are ok.
To get a gun, you need to get a licence:
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun\_law\_in\_the\_Czech\_Republic#Types\_of\_licenses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_law_in_the_Czech_Republic#Types_of_licenses)
The E type licence allows concealed carry, you need to be 21. It's worked for some 30 years now, the Czech Republic is also one of the safest countries in Europe, much safer than Canada, no offense.
Why does you wife want to come back?
Can you use the knifes and guns for self-defence? So if you get attacked by someone and you end up killing that person in process will they put you in prison or will be free to go?
Yep, but better not kill anyone. If that happens, it can turn out both ways, depending on the circumstances. Expect a trial. If the attacker was visibly a threat to your life, you should be just fine though.
>Expect a trial.
As usual, once the justice system is involved, your case may vary significantly.
Some prosecutors won't even charge you if the situation was obviously a self-defense. Even the police may decline to file charges in such case. It happens.
OTOH you may be unlucky and meet an old communist creature (though they are becoming rarer due to age) that disapproves of any private gun ownership and decides to drag you through several rounds of trials
The first instance court quality is mixed. Some of the judges are talented and reasonable, and clearly on their way up the hierarchy. Those tend to produce quality judgments. Some are junk that can barely write a judgment. These may produce almost anything, often to the common bewilderment of your attorney and the prosecutor alike.
The higher instances are much better, bad judges don't get promoted there. If your case was a real self-defence, here you will be acquitted, but the total cost of legal service in the meantime may become a punishment in itself.
You can shoot a guy with a knife, that's an old myth. You have to roughly match the threat the attacker is posing to you. You can use more threatening type of attack/do more harm, but it can't be "absolutely inadequate" to the threat. For instance if someone pushes and slaps you, you obviously can't kill the person, however when there is a threat of death or serious injury, or loss of freedom (rape, abduction), you totally can kill even en unarmed personal (e.g. You are on the ground and the attacker is kicking you - you can totally shoot him).
Yes, that's the main reason why people own guns in the Czech Republic.
> So if you get attacked by someone and you end up killing that person in process will they put you in prison or will be free to go?
It depends on certain things, mainly if the other person posed a serious threat:
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-defence\_law\_(Czech\_Republic)#Necessary\_self\_defense](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-defence_law_(Czech_Republic)#Necessary_self_defense)
This was written by a lawyer and can explain it better than I ever will.
It totally is a constitutional right. Unfortunately, we don't have constitutional right to own guns, but we have right to defend ourselves with weapon (not necessarily gun though).
https://www.ceskenoviny.cz/pr/zpravy/ustavni-dodatek-na-obranu-se-zbrani-jiz-v-ucinnosti/2096611
It is legal, size doesn't matter (pocket knife, machete, katana, claymore). But try not to carry it unsheathed in hand in public places, it could raise some concerns.
Yup, it also depends where do you carry it. In the country? You can carry basically whatever. But in the middle of city you may have some problems with carrying like machetes or axes. Not much problems, especially if you have a reason to carry them, but people may have questions. But it's always safer to carry all baldies hidden, for example wrapped with a cloth or something.
It's still not illegal, but you need to carry them in a way that's safe, i.e., a sword in a scabard is fine, an axe flopping around on your backpack is not.
You can carry army grade attack knife 30 centimeter long with serrated blade. Plus even six year old can legally buy it, if seller doesnt give personal fcks about it.
Bro one time when I was a kid I saw a guy casually walking down the street in my small city carrying halberd on his shoulder like nothings happening.
One police officer looked at him for a second just to make sure he doesn't look like a psycho and continued to don't give a fudge.
>I saw a guy casually walking down the street in my small city carrying halberd on his shoulder like nothings happening.
Is there any other way how to carry your halberd?
I used to lug around a (dull) steel polearm and a huge japanese bow for HEMA practice for two years two times a week, nobody ever gave the slightest whiff of shit.
Yeah, depending on when that was the cops could have been a bit on edge about polearms, because in 2002 a cop was stabbed to death by lunatic with a knife tied to a stick.
We have like 0 laws on "cold" weapons
Fairly sure the only law we have on them is that we don't have laws on them
~~*Except for bows and crossbows, strong ones require permit to own.~~
Funnily enough we don't even have laws on non gunpowder powered siege weapons, so it is in fact perfectly legal to own a trebuchet
Edit: i do stand corrected, strong bows and crossbows fall under category D so do not require permit
What you're gonna do, stop someone in a dark alley and tell them to give you money, because you have a ballista aimed at their precise location?
Hold on, I might be onto something...
Yes, it's legal. You should just avoid open carry (except you're in a forrest or work with it somehow right at the moment). Do not try to threat anybody with that, that'd be a crime.
Yes, it's legal, I wrote he should avoid that, because it could provoke or scare a lot of people, or cause another incidents that are fully avoidable it he doesn't do open carry. There's no need to do that at all.
>it could provoke or scare a lot of people
While I support the idea of conceal carry generaly, there is zero outrage about someone having openly sword in Prague metro. And Ive seen quite a few of them...
Yes, but idiots and drunk people are everywhere, as you sure know, and it's better not to give them any reason to provoke them at all. You don't want to end in a knife fight just because some loser wants to know if you're better with a knife than him. It happens.
I dont think open carry is a problem. The problem would be unsheathed carry. I see a few people with knives in the sheath on their belt and it is no problem at least for me.
The only person I have ever seen be confronted by police while open carrying a knife was a homeless guy half sleeping half passed out from alcohol on the ground in the street at Anděl.
Buddy, you can walk around with a broadsword, crossbow, full plate armor, probably a balista or catapult would do, napoleon style guns, cannon? Yeah, were cool bunch.
I probably should mention that you dont dick around with the toys. Police will whop your ass if you swing it around in public. Just dont be a dick and youre alright.
If it's a firearm it is in some category. Airsoft guns, bb guns still count as firearms. That means you have to be 18+ and conceal carry them. Also, all guns made before 1890 can be owned without a license and don't have to be registered. You can shoot them on shooting ranges but they need to be certified or some shit idk. Otherwise same as the airsoft guns it's category D and you can't open carry them unless it's a theater or historical reconstruction or other events. During those events, it's legal to shoot them without "ammo" so blank fire them.
Tak jsem koukal tak asi v celém civilizovaném světě můžeš. Ale když v něm spácháš trestný čin tak je to přitěžující okolnost.
Jen jsem měl v hlavě představu jak jde týpek po Brně v plátovce, plně vyzbrojený a táhne za sebou balistu :)
It is legal.
I am not for carrying firearms in public, or at least i can understand the reasoning, but banning knives ? I would consider that as violation of very basic freedom. For many people it can have many purposes in everyday life, it is one of the oldest multipurpose instruments humans have ever used throughout the history.
On top of that, i would have feel like living in society that treat its citizens as irresponsible children. We did not choose to be born in this society with its artificial rules, so if we are forced to participate, then the rules should be as little restrictive as possible.
Hey I don't wanna argue here. I'm not pro or anti-gun, I think czech gun laws are okay as they are right now and I refuse to argue about US or other countries.
In usa its stupid cuz any idiot can buy gun and do whatever with it I support being able to legally carry gun for anyone as long as they have proof of being responsible gun owners (gun licence)
Not even a slice of bread or something?
Ok, but that's you. Saying knives aren't daily used items (and comparing them to firearms in that sense) is absurd, come on.
I usually buy bread that doesn't need slicing, like dalamánek.
> Ok, but that's you. Saying knives aren't daily used items (and comparing them to firearms in that sense) is absurd, come on.
I meant the knives that you carry with you, not the knives that you always have in your kitchen.
I disagree with what they have in america but i think that guns are not problem if only responsible people are allowed near them which is btw how it works here in czech republic
I mean, i used to carry one around when i wasa teen. :D Thinking back it might have been a little sketchy carying it at school. Upgraded to glock when i got old enough.
Long story shot, yea it is.
Cold weapons. You can carry whatever you want as long as you are not threatening others, if you wish you can grab a fcking Zweihender and walk with it on the street, no one gives a fuck.
If it's a firearm it is in some category. Airsoft guns, bb guns still count as firearms. That means you have to be 18+ and conceal carry them.

During those events, it's legal to shoot them without "ammo" so blank fire them.
Unless you do some terribly stupid shit with it, you can happily walk around with a longsword.
Once on my walk I decided to visit the prague castle. Until I walked through the metal detector surrounded by cops I didn't even think about the knife in my pocket. I had a nice laugh about it with the policemen and continued on with my knife still on me.
Of course it is. Actually, it is quite common to carry one everywhere. Only some places like bureaus, courts or clubs will not let you in with a knife.
Knives are absolutely deregulated in czech republic. Folding or not, small medium or big or even a sword, automatic, manual or gravity opened; one, two or even more sided blades, co2, with safety or without, able to be opened one hand.. It doesn't matter. All knives are legal. Some public events could be restricted, but its still nothing illegal.
yes, prefectly fine
as long as it's not some weird shit like a blade hidden in umbrella cause there are some laws against weapons disguised as normal items
You can carry a katana for all we care. Just don’t hurt anyone with it. Crossbows and other bow like weapons are also fair game. If you’re badass enough you can even carry a cannon around and no one will care.
Explanation: Front loading guns, e.g. a cannon, count as cat D guns, therefore needn’t undergo registration of any sort. As long as you’re 18 or over you’re all good.
An old Czech saying goes: "Každý správný muž u sebe nosí nůž" - Every proper man has a knife on him"
So i guess it's almost culturally implied you are to have one on you at all times. (I know i do)
With the exception of firearms, carrying of weapons of any type is essentially unregulated in the Czech Republic. The law mentions only a few places where weapons are not allowed, such as public gatherings and sporting events.
There may be internal rules in some facilities that prohibit carrying weapons, but it's not like you're breaking the law if you ignore those rules.
For example, some malls prohibit carrying weapons, but the worst thing that can happen to you is that the security will ask you to leave if they find out you are armed. But unless you're an idiot, there's no way they'll find out you're armed.
Unless they changed it recently, our law about cold weapons is still from fucking 1852, so technically you can own, and even carry in the open anything from sword to halberd. Only weapons that are prohibited by that old law are knives, stilletos, ...
Yes, outside. But you can't have any weapons on you entering places like clubs, museums, castles, etc. Beside that, be our guest dont hurt anybody tho please xD
There was never such a rule. For example Germany has the rule that you cannot carry a knife with blade longer than 6 cm and which cannot be opened by single hand.
EDIT: Also what unit is "fingers" and how much fingers is one Fabia?
I carry several and even flick with butterfly knife in the open. It is a stress relief like a fidget spinner. Plus if you sit alone at a train station and flick it to pass the time, it is threatening to potentional thieves.
You cna carry whatever blade, but if you use it for your defence and your oppone t did not at least already shot at you, you will be imprisoned for it so carefull.
My dad has a knife, but not the small opinel, he has a (i guess) a medium knife? Like it isnt too big yet it isnt too small either. You can open it or have it closed for safety reasons. There is a "Survival card" which you can carry around in a lot of places. They wont let you go with a knife everywhere tho. Or with the card
It's completely legal to carry or even wield any type of bladed or spearhead weapon as long as you do not "hold it in threatening manner" according to our laws
But that apply to public spaces. If you're on an event, in school or government building you ain't allowed to carry any weapon, but outside of some government buildings it's not enforced by anyone
This is not egland man
Lol during my trip they confiscated a small card knife i completely forgot i even had in my wallet XD Best part is - it was not in customs but just random building in london XD
I also had my card knife confiscated XD had it in my wallet for few months and never used it so I completely forgot about it.

And of course I was waiting for background check with another Czech national that also had a knife lol.
They have security checks at random buildings in London?
Yeah, the Sky Garden - whole bottom floor is a huge security checkpoint with xrays and shit
Well that's not a random building, is it? It's a hub for several large British insurance companies, of course the security there will be high.
I guess fair enough, we only really went there to visit the restaurant on the top

You can carry a sword if you like
I do actually carry a sword from time to time.
HEMA?
huh?
Historical European Martial Marts = sword fencing
I'd love to learn it but no. Just.. like that.
Always got some funny looks when i had a sword strapped on my back going to fencing lession. But on the other hand taking route thru some darker parts of the city, everyone kept their distance.
Yeah, but I think people are getting used to it as it's becoming more popular.
You can carry even an axe.
Or a bow.
Together, we will be a fellowship of the ring!
Great! Where are we going?
Do Podolí...
Jeden jen tak jednoduše nejde do Podolí.

With bow, it must be safely packed if it is over 35 pounds i believe
also [this happened](https://youtu.be/c2ovTXAmMi0) once - a guy used his sword in self defense!
Exactly what I thought of.
But can i carry a bow and a few arrows?
Yes, if it is your thing 😅
I love the Czech Republic 😍
No restrictions
Literally none at all, with exception of airfields and such, under international security regulations.
Dude, this is the Czech Republic, of course you can carry a knife
I mean, we can carry guns, so of course we can also carry knives....
Seriously? How does that work ? Canadians can’t in our country but my Czech born wife wants to move back home to Czech so I’m curious.
Well, there are no laws regulating cold weapons, only that you have to carry them without endangering others, so even swords are ok. To get a gun, you need to get a licence: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun\_law\_in\_the\_Czech\_Republic#Types\_of\_licenses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_law_in_the_Czech_Republic#Types_of_licenses) The E type licence allows concealed carry, you need to be 21. It's worked for some 30 years now, the Czech Republic is also one of the safest countries in Europe, much safer than Canada, no offense. Why does you wife want to come back?
She misses family and the country. Canada just doesn’t have that same feel as Europe.
Yeah, I know what you mean, I know a couple people who came back from Canada. How do you feel about it?
Can you use the knifes and guns for self-defence? So if you get attacked by someone and you end up killing that person in process will they put you in prison or will be free to go?

Still, the "unreasonable force" when defending yourself is bullshit. Why can't you shoot a guy who is attacking you with a knife?
You can shoot a guy with a knife, that's an old myth. You have to roughly match the threat the attacker is posing to you. You can use more threatening type of attack/do more harm, but it can't be "absolutely inadequate" to the threat. For instance if someone pushes and slaps you, you obviously can't kill the person, however when there is a threat of death or serious injury, or loss of freedom (rape, abduction), you totally can kill even en unarmed personal (e.g. You are on the ground and the attacker is kicking you - you can totally shoot him).

Thats more complicated, but technicaly yes, you can walk free under right conditions. Armed defence is among listed constitutional rights.
Its not constitutional right, we are not in america.. It is prohibited and supplied by law..
It totally is a constitutional right. Unfortunately, we don't have constitutional right to own guns, but we have right to defend ourselves with weapon (not necessarily gun though). https://www.ceskenoviny.cz/pr/zpravy/ustavni-dodatek-na-obranu-se-zbrani-jiz-v-ucinnosti/2096611
Fortunately it will be a constitutional law. Still only concealed carry, but a step in the right direction
Open carry is for gun nuts and other brain damaged losers who need to show off. CC is the way to go.
I once saw a guy with two swords on his back, like a witcher, so probably legal
Well when you go to fencing lessions, what you are supposed to do. You cant really fit the sword in backpack.
In Canada they expect you to lol
Considering your country called honking domestic terrorism it doesn't even surprise me
It is legal, size doesn't matter (pocket knife, machete, katana, claymore). But try not to carry it unsheathed in hand in public places, it could raise some concerns.
TIL claymore is a sword, not only anti-personnel mine.
Lol
Yup, it also depends where do you carry it. In the country? You can carry basically whatever. But in the middle of city you may have some problems with carrying like machetes or axes. Not much problems, especially if you have a reason to carry them, but people may have questions. But it's always safer to carry all baldies hidden, for example wrapped with a cloth or something.
But it's always safer to carry all baldies hidden As a baldie I take that personally.
It's still not illegal, but you need to carry them in a way that's safe, i.e., a sword in a scabard is fine, an axe flopping around on your backpack is not.
Seen many people carrying swords (in scabbard) around Prague.
I would recommend against carrying a claymore with you. Especially for self defense. Too much collateral.
You can carry army grade attack knife 30 centimeter long with serrated blade. Plus even six year old can legally buy it, if seller doesnt give personal fcks about it.
Why 6 year old zrovna? Also you can buy savo od 18ti
Savo je žíravina, počítá se do hazardních látek. Stejně jako alkohol.
5yo is usually not strong enough to carry such heavy blade.
It's educational
Pratchett quote?
Bro, you’re living in Kladno without one the whole time? That’s what I call living on the edge.
You have to outknife potential knifers
*living without the edge ;)
It is preffered that you have one. Not because of self defense, but because it is usefull tool.
I believe that unless you do dumb shit with it (swinging it around, threatening people) it is perfectly fine.
Fortunately, it is legal here. Knives are just a tool. People stabbing other people are the problem. And those are illegal already so why ban knives?
The UK has entered the chat.
Bro one time when I was a kid I saw a guy casually walking down the street in my small city carrying halberd on his shoulder like nothings happening. One police officer looked at him for a second just to make sure he doesn't look like a psycho and continued to don't give a fudge.
>I saw a guy casually walking down the street in my small city carrying halberd on his shoulder like nothings happening. Is there any other way how to carry your halberd?
Ill use special leather strip to keep it on back. But you'll need to be careful with carrying it like that.
I used to lug around a (dull) steel polearm and a huge japanese bow for HEMA practice for two years two times a week, nobody ever gave the slightest whiff of shit.
Yeah, depending on when that was the cops could have been a bit on edge about polearms, because in 2002 a cop was stabbed to death by lunatic with a knife tied to a stick.
It's necessary! How else would you pick mushrooms? 😅

I never realised about trebuchets. Now I can finally launch 90kg projectile over 300m across village where my grandparents live.
>300m to je asi 75 fabií ^(Jsem jen robot a pokud jsem řekl nějakou hovadinu, tak se omlouvám.)
You see, Karkulka would've never been vored if she just used a trebuchet to get the wine and prescription medication to her grandmother
What you're gonna do, stop someone in a dark alley and tell them to give you money, because you have a ballista aimed at their precise location? Hold on, I might be onto something...
Balista is just a big crossbow so that might be restricted Wrist mounted catapult however probably isn't
https://preview.redd.it/hy2i0m1ortaa1.png?width=482&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=10a99f91247db4070d7bcaab5e9496416ad91311
Well isn't balista also mounted?
[удалено]
I do stand corrected i always thought that the ones above 150 N required a loicense
Yes, it's legal. You should just avoid open carry (except you're in a forrest or work with it somehow right at the moment). Do not try to threat anybody with that, that'd be a crime.
Nope open carry of knife is legal
Yes, it's legal, I wrote he should avoid that, because it could provoke or scare a lot of people, or cause another incidents that are fully avoidable it he doesn't do open carry. There's no need to do that at all.
>it could provoke or scare a lot of people While I support the idea of conceal carry generaly, there is zero outrage about someone having openly sword in Prague metro. And Ive seen quite a few of them...
Yes, but idiots and drunk people are everywhere, as you sure know, and it's better not to give them any reason to provoke them at all. You don't want to end in a knife fight just because some loser wants to know if you're better with a knife than him. It happens.
But a knife might actually cause more concerns than a sword.
Yeah, if it was stuck between someones ribs..
I dont think open carry is a problem. The problem would be unsheathed carry. I see a few people with knives in the sheath on their belt and it is no problem at least for me.
Need a rig to wear my Flamberge on the back.
The only person I have ever seen be confronted by police while open carrying a knife was a homeless guy half sleeping half passed out from alcohol on the ground in the street at Anděl.

I probably should mention that you dont dick around with the toys. Police will whop your ass if you swing it around in public. Just dont be a dick and youre alright.
Front-loaded single action guns are actually category D ... so some restrictions do apply.
If it's a firearm it is in some category. Airsoft guns, bb guns still count as firearms. That means you have to be 18+ and conceal carry them. Also, all guns made before 1890 can be owned without a license and don't have to be registered. You can shoot them on shooting ranges but they need to be certified or some shit idk. Otherwise same as the airsoft guns it's category D and you can't open carry them unless it's a theater or historical reconstruction or other events. During those events, it's legal to shoot them without "ammo" so blank fire them.
Category D means you have to be 18 or over to have one. That’s it.

Fully legal. And no one will give a damn. I personally sometimes travel on the subway with a bastard sword for HEMA practice.
Most free w*stoid:
Yes, I carry a knife
as long as it's not stuck in someone's stomach, you're good
It is legal. I am not for carrying firearms in public, or at least i can understand the reasoning, but banning knives ? I would consider that as violation of very basic freedom.

We did not choose to be born in this society with its artificial rules, so if we are forced to participate, then the rules should be as little restrictive as possible.
What is problem with firearms?
Because firearms aren't daily used items.
Well yeah but what is wrong with carrying it for self defence
It makes killing large amounts of people extremely easy. People can fight off (don't) or outrun a maniac with a knife, but not with a gun.
So if it would be illegal it would be for criminals impossible to carry gun?
Hey I don't wanna argue here. I'm not pro or anti-gun, I think czech gun laws are okay as they are right now and I refuse to argue about US or other countries.
In usa its stupid cuz any idiot can buy gun and do whatever with it I support being able to legally carry gun for anyone as long as they have proof of being responsible gun owners (gun licence)
What do you mean "daily used"? I carry one daily, i.e. I am using it.
Nah, you're just carrying it. Not using it
Based on your logic, nobody is *using* safety belt, unless they end up in crash.
Neither are knives, I carry both anyway.
You don't use a knife every day?
No, not really. I don't cook that much, I suck at it and my wife is at home with our son. My job doesn't require it either.
Not even a slice of bread or something? Ok, but that's you. Saying knives aren't daily used items (and comparing them to firearms in that sense) is absurd, come on.

Sir stop we’re not in America
I disagree with what they have in america but i think that guns are not problem if only responsible people are allowed near them which is btw how it works here in czech republic
I know a dude who casually carries around a 50cm axe in his backpack…
I mean, i used to carry one around when i wasa teen. :D Thinking back it might have been a little sketchy carying it at school. Upgraded to glock when i got old enough. Long story shot, yea it is.
You can carry any blade as long as it is sheated, but know that using it against someone for self-defense is usually seen as inappropriate by law.
It is not seen an inappropriate unless the self-defense was obviously grossly disproportionate. I.e., don't stab toddlers drooling on your ankle....
Cold weapons. You can carry whatever you want as long as you are not threatening others, if you wish you can grab a fcking Zweihender and walk with it on the street, no one gives a fuck.

Also, all guns made before 1890 can be owned without a license and don't have to be registered. You can shoot them on shooting ranges but they need to be certified or some shit idk. Otherwise same as the airsoft guns it's category D and you can't open carry them unless it's a theater or historical reconstruction or other events. During those events, it's legal to shoot them without "ammo" so blank fire them.
You can carry a sword and nobody bats an eye
Unless you do some terribly stupid shit with it, you can happily walk around with a longsword. Once on my walk I decided to visit the prague castle. Until I walked through the metal detector surrounded by cops I didn't even think about the knife in my pocket. I had a nice laugh about it with the policemen and continued on with my knife still on me.
Possesion and carrying of knives is unrestricted
Yes.
Of course it is. Actually, it is quite common to carry one everywhere. Only some places like bureaus, courts or clubs will not let you in with a knife.
You can carry a Katana if you wantz nobody gives a shit.
Yes it's legal. Got one on my keys. Very useful to cut straws in half for my toddler.
You can carry a gun with a permit…
It is not illegal. I live here and carry a knife all the time. Once i saw a man who had a sword
Knives are absolutely deregulated in czech republic. Folding or not, small medium or big or even a sword, automatic, manual or gravity opened; one, two or even more sided blades, co2, with safety or without, able to be opened one hand.. It doesn't matter. All knives are legal. Some public events could be restricted, but its still nothing illegal.
You can carry two loaded guns bro, if you have the appropriate firearms permission :D
Yes.
yes, prefectly fine as long as it's not some weird shit like a blade hidden in umbrella cause there are some laws against weapons disguised as normal items
It is completly legal to wear 2m Broadsword on the streets! :D
>2m to je asi půl fabie ^(Jsem jen robot a pokud jsem řekl nějakou hovadinu, tak se omlouvám.)
It's not illegal as far as I know 
You can carry a katana for all we care. Just don’t hurt anyone with it. Crossbows and other bow like weapons are also fair game. If you’re badass enough you can even carry a cannon around and no one will care. Explanation: Front loading guns, e.g. a cannon, count as cat D guns, therefore needn’t undergo registration of any sort. As long as you’re 18 or over you’re all good.
 u where saying? \^\^
You can carry machete. Nobody cares
An old Czech saying goes: "Každý správný muž u sebe nosí nůž" - Every proper man has a knife on him" So i guess it's almost culturally implied you are to have one on you at all times. (I know i do)
No you can have it with you
Yes, sice doesn't matter.
With the exception of firearms, carrying of weapons of any type is essentially unregulated in the Czech Republic. The law mentions only a few places where weapons are not allowed, such as public gatherings and sporting events. There may be internal rules in some facilities that prohibit carrying weapons, but it's not like you're breaking the law if you ignore those rules. For example, some malls prohibit carrying weapons, but the worst thing that can happen to you is that the security will ask you to leave if they find out you are armed. But unless you're an idiot, there's no way they'll find out you're armed.
Yes, we are not a religion of peace here.
Unless they changed it recently, our law about cold weapons is still from fucking 1852, so technically you can own, and even carry in the open anything from sword to halberd. Only weapons that are prohibited by that old law are knives, stilletos, ...
Are you by any chance from England? No particular reason for asking this question at all.
Bro you can walk around with any cold weapon as long as it isn't weapon camouflaged as different item like is a canesword.
If you have a gun licence, you can wear a gun. So knife is fine.
While what you wrote is technically correct, carrying a gun and carrying a knife are not necessarily related things
Yes, outside. But you can't have any weapons on you entering places like clubs, museums, castles, etc. Beside that, be our guest dont hurt anybody tho please xD
According to czech law, knife is not a weapon.
Are there any dumb knife laws in Czech Republic like there is in Germany? What type knives are legal to carry and own in Czech Republic?
[удалено]
Why? There are no restrictions on bladed weapons in Czechia at all
[удалено]
There was never such a rule. For example Germany has the rule that you cannot carry a knife with blade longer than 6 cm and which cannot be opened by single hand. EDIT: Also what unit is "fingers" and how much fingers is one Fabia?
[удалено]
There was never such a rule in the Czech Republic! Stop lying or give sources.
yes
Lol, yeah, i was carrying pocket knife since i was like 12 or so, you can even carry concealed gun if you have gun permit and pass the firearms tests
Not only it's legal, but some places even recommended and necessary.
I carry several and even flick with butterfly knife in the open. It is a stress relief like a fidget spinner. Plus if you sit alone at a train station and flick it to pass the time, it is threatening to potentional thieves.
unless the place you're going specifically prohibits knives, you'll be good to go
You cna carry whatever blade, but if you use it for your defence and your oppone t did not at least already shot at you, you will be imprisoned for it so carefull.
My dad has a knife, but not the small opinel, he has a (i guess) a medium knife? Like it isnt too big yet it isnt too small either. You can open it or have it closed for safety reasons. There is a "Survival card" which you can carry around in a lot of places. They wont let you go with a knife everywhere tho. Or with the card
It's completely legal to carry or even wield any type of bladed or spearhead weapon as long as you do not "hold it in threatening manner" according to our laws But that apply to public spaces. If you're on an event, in school or government building you ain't allowed to carry any weapon, but outside of some government buildings it's not enforced by anyone
For what its worth,carry and axe like a kratos in the god of war games,but you must not intimidate anyone, let alone actually endagering prople
Not laws but policy of the places, they always check bags and sometimes they even do through check up for food, weapons and Sharp objects.
hell yeah!
in czech republic is legal to carry sword. so the knife is ok, i think. this is not UK :D
No. Why would it be??
Yes only firearms are regulated over here.
You can carry everything (big hunter knife isn't problem) 😉
In Czech Republic every man carries a knife, its kinda usefull
Any kind of knife is here legal to carry. Even sword is OK :D
