Backpacks. The best way to store backpacks is to keep them someplace where they’re easy to grab on your way out the door.

Are EDC knives legal?
Citizens can carry any folding blade knife, but a fixed blade, such as a dagger or dirk, must be open-carry in a sheath at the waist. This law does not permit knives disguised as other objects. Automatic knives that exceed 2 inches in length are not permissible in any location open to the public, including in vehicles.
