Does a CC only cover firearms or any legal personal protection device? I guess different states and locales. Thanks.

Also how long is the training requirements.
In Hellinois the CC permit is $150 for 5 years but one must possess a FOID card first which is $10 for 10 years and 16 hours of training is required.

In Georgia it is a Concealed Weapons Permit and does cover knives.
Does that include "Spring assisted" knives?

Your answer is in your question. Depends on states and locales. In Virginia it's handguns only.
for some reason and what I hear, Knifes are a last resort tool if you use one against some one in self defense, it looks bad on you as history and popular feel good people think a knife is a tool for crooks and thugs . if you use one it puts you in that group by the jury and prosecutor as stupid as it sounds same principle defending your self or others , butt no [:(!]
I am sure more on here have better experience but that's the basic of what I have been told use a gun not a knife ??

Perhaps and stupid question, Captain, but absent a permit, can you carry a knife in your pocket?

Kansas Knife Laws
Kansas knife law is practically non-existent. This article will discuss the current Kansas knife law, what it means in simple everyday terms, case precedence, and explanation of legal terms.
The knife laws for Kansas has been updated as of 7 JANUARY 2014. Read the new law here.
What is Legal to Own
It is legal to own Bowies and other large knives.
It is legal to own dirks, daggers, stilettos, and other stabbing knives.
It is legal to own disguised knives like belt knives, lipstick knives, and cane swords.
It is legal to own switchblades and other automatic knives.
It is legal to own gravity knives.
It is legal to own undetectable knives (knives that will not set off metal detectors).
What is Illegal to Own
It is illegal to own ballistic knives.
It is illegal to own throwing stars.
Definition of Throwing Star
A throwing star is defined by Kansas statute as "any instrument, without handles, consisting of a metal plate having three or more radiating points with one or more sharp edges and designed in the shape of a polygon, trefoil, cross, star, diamond or other geometric shape, manufactured for use as a weapon for throwing."
Limits on Carry
It is legal to open carry all knives that are legal to own.
It is legal to conceal carry all knives that are legal to own.
Guns
Kansas Governor Sam Brownback (R) signed a law authorizing the carrying of concealed handguns in the state without a license or a training requirement. When it goes into effect, Kansas will become the fifth state with such a concealed carry law.
"I am pleased to sign Senate Bill 45 bill today. I have been - and continue to be - a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights," Brownback said Thursday as he signed the bill, flanked by Republican lawmakers and representatives from the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the Kansas State Rifle Association (KSRA).
The bill, known as constitutional carry, was introduced into the state Senate with 26 co-sponsors - five more legislators than necessary to pass the bill, the Wichita Eagle reported. It passed the GOP-led Senate 31-7 in February. One Republican voted against the bill, and two Democrats voted for it. In the state House of Representatives, the bill passed 85-39 at the end of March, with four Democrats supporting it, and 16 Republicans voting against it.
"Responsible gun ownership - for protection and sport - is a right inherent in our Constitution," he said in a statement. "It is a right that Kansans hold dear and have repeatedly and overwhelmingly reaffirmed a commitment to protecting."
Four other states have some version of permit-less concealed carry laws on their books - Alaska, Arizona, Vermont and Wyoming - and nine other state legislatures are currently considering similar bills. Montana and Arkansas have concealed carry without a permit, but not everywhere in their states.
