[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 693564, member: 1132"] No. O.S. 21-1272: It shall be unlawful for any person to carry upon or about his or her person, or in a purse or other container belonging to the person, any pistol, revolver, shotgun or rifle whether loaded or unloaded or any dagger, bowie knife, dirk knife, switchblade knife, spring-type knife, sword cane, [B]knife having a blade which opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button, spring, or other device in the handle of the knife, [/B]blackjack, loaded cane, billy, hand chain, metal knuckles, or any other offensive weapon, whether such weapon be concealed or unconcealed... You are allowed to own a switchblade, but you are not allowed to carry one. Knife dealers at the gun shows are terrible sources for legal information. How do you get the otherwise legal knife to your home? You carry it, where it's illegal. Catch-22 it may be, but it matters not if you're stopped by a LEO. Where the assisted opening knives skate legally is that the "button" you push is on the blade, not the handle. It doesn't surprise me that they're trying to close this "loophole". While I don't own an assisted opening knife, nor do I plan to, I hope they remain legal. This type of knife has become a staple for many average working folks. What's the difference between one of these and a knife with a thumb stud that you can open one handed, or with the flick of a wrist? Not much. [/QUOTE]
