FOLKS-In direct dialogue with the Attorney General's Office, spring assited knives are illegal.
Well I am reading the law and it says they are good to go. Just because the AG said it doesn't make it law the same way as just because a LEO says something doesn't necessarily mean its a law
yep.
but for grins i emailed the AG office. when they respond i'll post it here. hopefully they don't try to bull**** me and say its illegal, since the law is pretty clear.
FELLOW READERS. I HAVE NOTHING TO GAIN BY RELATING THIS INFORMATION.
I’M NOT SELLING ANYTHING, LOOKING FOR APPROVAL OR FRIENDSHIP. I’M MERELY RELAYING TO YOU COLLECTIVELY WHAT WAS TOLD TO ME. I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY THAT THE WAY THE LAW USED TO BE WRITTEN WOULD EXCLUDE ASSIST STYLE KNIVES, THE LAW NOW DOESN’T.
Sec. 2. It is a Class B misdemeanor for a person to manufacture, possess, display, offer, sell, lend, give away, or purchase any knife with a BLADE that:
CONDITION A)
(1) opens automatically; OR
CONDITION B)
(2) may be PROPELLED;
Options begin----------
OPTION #1: by hand pressure applied to a button
OPTION #2: device containing gas
OPTION #3: SPRING
OPTION #4: or other device
Options end----------
in the handle of the knife.
SO (HIS POSITION WAS) AN ASSISTED KNIFE HAS A BLADE THAT IS PROPELLED BY A SPRING IN THE HANDLE OF THE KNIFE.
LET’S SEE WHAT “THEIR” ANSWER IS. HOPEFULLY IT WON’T BE LIKE THE IRS WHERE ANSWERS TODAY MAY NOT BE THE SAME AS TOMORROW.
