I dont think OK law addresses it much, but in other states, it can cost you your CCL.

What about in this state? they are going to forward the report to osbi.

Call JB, he will set them straight.

 

[de-evoproject]

what type of knife was it? And how did it assist in opening? Them keeping that sounds a bit fishy, especially if it was off a walmart shelf.

I dont know, but if the outcome is negative, you are allowed to appeal it.

Who is JB? and what is his number?

and the knife wasn't bought from walmart, but walmart does sell assisted opening knives. This was a smith and wesson magic knife. you flipped a lever with your index and a spring would help the blade open. but unlike a switchblade, it would close with the push of a button.

Really, there is absolutely nothing in SDA that is conerned with it. Most of the "game enders" for your license are things you would have been arrested for anyway. I dont know what purpose the "report" would do.

Before I get sidetracked, it totally sucks what happened to you, and I'm sure there could have been a better way for them to have handled checking you out.

That said, I have an issue with the quoted statement. There should be no law, it should just not be illegal. We keep legislating ourselves out of freedom and it's disgusting. The 2nd amendment should be more than enough. [/rant]

...I wish open carry would go through. This is just another reason we need that law. If OC were legal, this would have never happened to me.

This? If so, that does qualify as an auto.

By all means, do what you want, but I would suggest:
1) carry appendix, a tuckable IWB, or use a shoulder rig if you're riding
2) get a Spyderco Delica wave. Less ostentatious, opens just as fast.

The confiscation of your knife is troubling. Maybe a letter to the chief for the return of the knife, unless you think that pressing the issue will result in charges filed. Then you will need a lawyer.

Edit: looking at the description in the link above, the seperate button makes it an auto knife.

If the assist was part of the blade, requiring a partial deployment of the blade before the spring kicked in, I would not hold the same opinion

 

[taymoor]

Rob72: Not that exact one, but the same mechanism. I just looked up the delica, and I like the knife, I wonder if it comes in a tanto blade.

Vicious: I would totally agree. I believe that fully autos should also be unregulated. However, if it far more feasible at this time to push for open carry than to demand all gun laws be abolished. Sad...I know.
