Bill to Repeal Indiana Auto knife ban

[Kirk Freeman]

any "must haves"?

Microtech hands down.

May want to look at Dalton as well . . . when it is legal to do so.

so what would be a good automatic knife to have? I know Benchmade has some, what about ZT? any "must haves"?

Why would anyone need... Oh wait, we are talking about toys, aren't we?

What is the likelihood of something like this passing the rest of the way?

Thanks...

I'm not a big knife guy but other then the "cool" factor I can't see any real concern with the auto knives. Personally, I enjoyed watching someone try to work a butterfly knife when I was a kid. Also, if an auto is banned then why not an assisted opener? Seriously, as I am new to the knife laws this one is dumb just like a lot of the other useless laws we have anymore.

My gut tells me that this time it is going to pass because it has support from several key representatives, and the group "Knife Rights" (Knife Rights is the NRA for knife issues) is also pushing (behind) this. A precedent was set last year when New Hampshire was able to repeal their laws that restricted auto knives, this will also help in repealing the law here in Indiana.

The only issue I see with this is the "who cares" mentality when it comes to things like this. Most politicians don't care about issues that aren't economic, welfare, or politically important as a whole.

Lets be honest....politicians are crooks who are allowed to be crooks because we say they can.

In all honesty... I'll probably never own an automatically opening knife...

Due to cost alone.

Same with a machine gun.

But darn it, it should be legal for me to own them should I want to own one!

, if an auto is banned then why not an assisted opener? .

assisted open knives were not being made when this archaic law was passed

and it is a stupid law, a knee jerk reaction to "old school" gangs who carried "greaser" switchblades (and sang and danced like west side story)

everybody knows that now a days gangs carry glock fordys (and of corse follow ALL laws pertaining to valid legal ownership and have a current valid indiana ltch)

Agreed, Microtech is the ruling king of OTF's. I have heard horror stories about their customer service however.IMHO a very underrated OTS is the Spyderco Citadel. ~$125, S30v, aluminum body, fires very hard and has stellar ergos.

What kind of $ are we talking for OTF Microtech knives?

What kind of $ are we talking for OTF Microtech knives?

depends on which one but no less than 250 if I remember correctly. and up to 500 and beyond lol

My question is, when this goes through, how will one order such knives??

Must they go through a dealer? or can we order online? I know a LOT of auto knife sites say MIL/LEO after faxed papers. What about where it's legal?

I am curious about this also. I bought one of my Bench made autos in Louisiana and another one in Nebraska. I don't really need another one but if they are legal here I would have to buy another one in Indiana.

There is always the secondary market. Better prices too.
