    The Governor signed my spring-assisted knife bill today. Some in the media will say it's now legal to carry a "switchblade".
    That's technically not true. The switchblade commonly known as a Stiletto is still banned.
    This is the spring assisted utility knife that is like a common jackknife. It has a one edged blade. Not the double edge Stiletto.
    It is commonly carried by the National Guard and police. It is sold all over the place and some people were getting into trouble.
    Everyone from the ACLU to the MSP supported decriminalizing this commonly sold knife.
    I think I'll run down to ohio tonight and pick one up. that way i can have one when i head out tomorrow

    I wouldn't start carrying one too soon. After all you can still run afoul of the patchwork of knife laws from city to city.

    Rick Jones doesn't know what his bill does or doesn't do.

    There is nothing in the law that would prohibit an "Out The Front" types of knives, and the double edge and stiletto blades are banned as "fixed" blades.

    Furthermore, if he wants to "protect" people from getting "in trouble", he will need knife preemption.

    out the front gravity knife, or out the front automatic knife?
    also, are you talking about double edged OTF blades? because i think some are edged only on one side for just this reason.

    Preemption needs to be next on the agenda. This is a good step forward. I have a Benchmade OTF I have been waiting for years to carry.....

    My grandpa brought a lot of very interesting things back with him from WWII. It is crazy to me that I can legally own the pistols he brought back, but the Schrade M2 paratroopers knife (switchblade) was illegal to own. Its resided with my uncle out of state. Looking forward to reuniting it with the rest of the items.

    Not mine, just a picture of the exact same knife.
