[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2188172, member: 229"] Correct. This bill was not designed to clarify the legality of Auto-Opening knives, but rather Assisted Opening knives since the vague language left many people who carried an assisted-opener in a bit of a legal-state-of-worry seeing as how it sort of depended on how the police officer's interpretation as to if your knife was legal or not. The hilarious thing about this is that you can ask any knife or close quarters combat expert: What is the best knife to use for self-defense, or even offense (for military, etc.)? The answer is almost always: A medium-sized fixed-blade knife with good ergonomics - not too big but not too small. Which are legal in OK, yet we allowed 1980's movie stereo-types to dictate our knife-laws here in OK. Sometimes I wonder if the portrayal of the 1980s gang member with his Michael Jackson gloves, Red Leather Jacket and 1980's White-guy-afro hair tied up in a bandanna wasn't so convincing, would we all be outlawing lasers and photon torpedoes or what? Here's an awesome question - WTF is a Bowie knife? Cause it ain't necessarily the clip-point knife everyone who is reading this has pictured in their head (the actual Jim Bowie knife has never been confirmed as officially found - it was described as basically looking like what we would picture as a large butcher knife, but these days there are about a thousand different definitions for some sort of "bowie knife").
