Or maybe you haven't shed the "Be prepared" motto?
From about 6 or 7 until 17 I always carried a pocket knife. I had one that looked like a switchblade but wasn't one which was confiscated by a cop, even after he realized it wasn't illegal. Even though I didn't break a law and wasn't charged I quit carrying one since the local cops in that town harassed me (and even more so, my friends) and I didn't need to give them anything to make something stick. I just never got back in the habit of carrying one except when it was useful for a former job. Every so often I try to get back in the habit but it never sticks (especially since a different former job included going through a metal detector daily).
