    I like my assisted open knives. A lot easier on my arthritic thumbs.

    I think most knives with a liner/frame lock can do it. They might take a little oil on the pivot pin to flip open reliably, but that's not a big deal.
    That's why NY has had such a fun time charging people with felonies. Anything you can open without having to use your other hand, or pry open with your thumb is considered a "gravity knife" there.

    That's really crazy! I recently purchased my first 2...

    Both are easily opened with one hand. I don't think the one is spring assisted but the other one definitely isn't.

    The other one opens super easily with one hand - kind of like the gravity knife.






    These are ok in Michigan, yes?

    Yes, they are legal. What is illegal, and this bill would repeal, is actual "switch-blades".

    Read the current law --> MCL 750-226a

    Currently, this bill will simply delete that section of law, and remove references to it in other sections. There are no other "gotchas" buried in it, if we can pass it as is, all will be well.

    FISCAL IMPACT

    The bill would have no fiscal impact on the State and could have a positive fiscal impact on local government to the extent that violations of Section 226a are currently prosecuted. Any reduction in misdemeanor arrests and convictions could reduce resource demands on law enforcement, court systems, community supervision, and jails. Any associated decrease in fine revenue would reduce funding to public libraries.
    We HAVE to enact Knife Law Preemption!

    It has been depressing going to gun shows in Indiana and see what's on the table that they can legally carry. While it won't give us carte blanche it does move the needle.

    I was told Kniferights wants knife preemption for Michigan this session. It appears that they want to pass the switchblade bill into law and then drop the preemption bill in the senate for passage.

    They also want to target 750.227(1) but that won't come until after switchblades and preemption.

    Passed out of committee 5-0.

    Rick Jones did an outstanding job of explaining why this bill is needed.
