    Lagrange, IN.
    Indiana State Senator Jim Tomes has presented us with a welcome start to the new year, Senate Bill SB181, a Knife Rights requested bill that would repeal Indiana's antiquated and irrational ban on the sale and possession of automatic knives.

    SB181 is identical to the bill that was passed overwhelmingly last session in the Senate by a bipartisan vote of 46-1. That bill got wrapped up in election year politics and was never heard by the Indiana House. We have high expectations that it will fare better this year.

    The bill is co-sponsored by Senator Brent Steele, Chair of the Corrections, Criminal and Civil Matters Committee that will hear the bill, and Senator Johnny Nugent.

    If you live, work or travel in Indiana, please contact your Senator and ask them to support SB181. To locate your Senator, and/or the Senator who represents where you work or travel: http://district.iga.in.gov/DistrictLookup/

    SB 181 represents the first of a number of Knife Rights legislative initiatives that you can expect to hear about in the coming weeks and months. These difficult times only make these efforts to protect our knives all the more important. Please support Knife Rights as we fight for a Sharper Future for all Americans™

    Get involved...contact your representatives...

    SB 181 made it out of the Committee on Corrections & Criminal Law with a unanimous vote (9-0) for "do pass".

    Not sure I will own an automatic knife (too pricey) but I agree that this bill would be a good law. Wonder how long it will be till Feinstein puts these in her sights!

    I'm torn about this passing..... if it does bench made is going to be seeing part of my savings. And maybe even Microtech.

    Come on and pass. :)

    How long usually does it take for something to get voted on from where its at now till getting signed by the new Gov?

    Yep- that will be my new EDC...

    Shake people up at work- "here, let me cut that for you"

    LOL
