Indiana knife rights senate bill 181

[commonality]

I think it would be nice for people with disabilities to have a knife that it is easy to open.

As far as I'm concerned, this is a no-brainer, as assisted opening knives (and even some typical folders) relegated irrelevant ANY 'advantage' an auto-knife ever had. And even MORE of a no-brainer for ANYONE with an LTCH.

Personally, even as an LEO, if/when I would check someone for a valid LTCH, if they were good-to-go on that, I cared not-at-all if they had 13 switchblades on their person.

It's a dumb law, it's ALWAYS BEEN a dumb law, and should be repealed 'cause it never shoulda been on the books in the first damn place.

Oh, and a 'p.s.' - And I don't CARE if you have 'no need to own a switchblade', or even have a hatred of switchblades, or even if *I* don't have a need or hated them (I don't).

SOME people DO have a legitimate need, and that's it and that's all.

There are plenty of assisted opening knives that have the extended tang on the back side that are as easy to open as an auto.

Well I just called Rep. Bill Davis with hope of getting this bill out of Public Policy committee that he chairs. Anyone else want to call? His direct line (:edit: in Indy) (317) 234-3827

His campaign website states that his district phone number is 260-726-4727. This also seems to be his home phone number. I left a voicemail for Mr. and Mrs. Davis

Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but since the legislative session ended last Friday (March 29th) and the bill didn't get called up for vote in the house, isn't it a dead issue/dead bill at this point or does the bill get an extended life since it was put into a committee?

I *think* that is what it means .

Now, Brad go change your avatar pic, if I keep seeing that strider I will end up wanting one... So, what model is it? price?

the last day according to the Indiana General Assembly website for bill reading in the House is April 15th http://www.in.gov/legislative/pdf/2013_session_lng.pdf

Session ends April 29th

I'm guessing that is his home number, but seeing how he's in Indy I figure it would be eaiser to get a message to him through his Indy office.

I wrote the Committee Chair Davis and Speaker Bosma again and asked they push this to the floor for a vote.

 

[Trigger Time]

Come on guys pick up the phone and dial. Don't let this right get passed by because we failed to get enough people to care and pick up a damn phone. People are in **** holes of the world to protect our freedoms and some are 6ft under ground. Pick up the phone for freedom!!

 

[Trigger Time]

We need to post this in the general political thread too so people see it.

 

[cyprant]

It really should get a banner ad compliments of Fenway... have a chance to make a change here...

 

[zippy23]

Received this. The Bill is Dead again..

Thank you for taking the time to contact the Speaker regarding knives with automatic blades. He appreciates you sharing your thoughts with him and he asked that I respond to you on his behalf.

As you may know, SB 181 passed out of the Senate with a vote of 47-0. The bill was then sent to the House and referred to the House Committee on Public Policy. The Chairman, Representative Bill Davis, has the discretion to decide which bills are heard in his committee. Unfortunately, the bill did not pass prior to the committee report deadline. Thus, the bill is essentially dead. If this topic is addressed in future legislation, the Speaker will be sure to keep your thoughts in mind.

Again, thank you for taking the time to contact the Speaker. Please do not hesitate to share your views in the future on issues that are of importance to you.

Sincerely,

Alecia Nafziger

Legislative Assistant to the Speaker
