Iowa Law - What is the limits and law for carring a knife?

Hello Everyone,

I am looking for some answers

702.7 A "dangerous weapon" is any instrument or device designed
primarily for use in inflicting death or injury upon a human being or
animal, and which is capable of inflicting death upon a human being
when used in the manner for which it was designed, except a bow and
arrow when possessed and used for hunting or any other lawful
purpose. Additionally, any instrument or device of any sort
whatsoever which is actually used in such a manner as to indicate
that the defendant intends to inflict death or serious injury upon
the other, and which, when so used, is capable of inflicting death
upon a human being, is a dangerous weapon. Dangerous weapons include
but are not limited to any offensive weapon, pistol, revolver, or
other firearm, dagger, razor, stiletto, switchblade knife, knife
having a blade exceeding five inches in length, or any portable
device or weapon directing an electric current, impulse, wave, or
beam that produces a high-voltage pulse designed to immobilize a
person.

You live in Iowa, it's not a jungle and I doubt you'll need a machette to clear a path to the pond to fish. Plus the farmer might get pissed if you cut his corn down to make a path.

I feel so informed officer! Since you hunt and are from the Midwest you should know more about Iowa. We have a lot more than just Farms and Corn Fields. You have a wonderful day there sir. Thank GOD for the right to remain silent.



Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.................

Since the OP has decided to remove the original question by editing it out after receiving an honest answer, I'm closing this one.

To RyNo: I agree, the right to remain silent should be practiced quite liberally, especially when the only things you can think to say are sarcastic responses to those who have tried to answer your questions.
