People walk around New York City with illegally procured handguns all the time without being caught.

Sure. I have a Swiss Army knife on my key ring. Not against the law. I had to check it at the front desk the last time I was called for jury duty because some buildings—like court houses—don’t allow you to enter with a weapon. But I don’t recommend displaying a knife in any context other than peeling an orange or opening an envelope or some other purely functional context, let alone threatening or appearing to threaten someone with it.
