Re: carrying a concealed weapon
Yes you can be charged, but an affirmative defense at trial would be that it was a tool. You may be offered a plea bargain, but if that is all they have, you cannot take a criminal conviction on this, because if that is a tool for you then you are not guilty of anything. I have a leatherman tool myself.
