Switchblades may become legal! Legislation just passed

[KokomoDave]

Passed! Old law called 'antiquated' and redundant. I agree!!

Let's all go shopping!!! OTF double edged all the way!!!!

Cool! Where did you read this?

Indiana General Assembly

Passed the Senate. Not a law just yet, but looking good!

Edit: Passed the Senate Committee. Don't think it has been heard on the floor just yet?

Hmmmm....maybe by Father's Day?

Not so fast, it's only passed at the committee (Senate) level. It will still have to go through several more votes (Full House and Senate votes) before becoming law, assuming that it does pass. Keep in mind that if there are any amendments in the House or Senate, this will slow things down as the admendments (changes) would have to go back to the other branch for another vote.

My question is, once they become legal, how fast can you get some in stock to sell?

24 hours

This sounds cautiously promising!

I may be in the minority. But I don't think switch blades are all that. There, I said it.
I think they have so much allure to us Indiana people simple because they've been illegal.
Don't get me wrong. They're cool and all. But honestly. Reminds me of when I saw my first switch blade in grade school with a pal who's dad got one from south of the border. It's like "Watch this" (in, out, in out, in out in, out), "let met try" (in, out, in out, in out in, out), Young boys are fascinate with all that "in out" stuff. Wow.
Now that I'm older, I just fold it away and keep it out of sight ... where it belongs.

I think pretty darn fast so start saving your money now.

This is going to be looked on in the future in the same light as laws not allowing bearded men to wear hats while riding horses and other completely nonsensical issues. The sooner its gone, the better.

I guess I was being a little over-zealous since this time thru it got farther along than last year. We can only hope. Until then,I will be carrying my Emerson Journeyman and my green Raven with a back-up custom SMF.

Just to be safe and not be accused of carrying an "assault knife", I've put my Spydercos and Sog folders up, and am currently EDCing a fire-hardened, 3 3/4" sharpened oak stick with a 1/2 inch flintknapped section of obsidian near the tip; just in case any Executive Orders come down today.

Hmmmm....maybe by Father's Day?

Even if it passes the House and Senate this week (almost certainly not) and it's the first law signed by Gov. Pence (doubt it), it won't go into effect by Father's Day.

Like most laws passed this session, it would go into effect on July 1, 2013 and not before.

I actually like spring assist moreso than any auto's I've messed with. I can open my S.A. faster from pocket than the ones I've seen also.

Will probably still get one though

 

[jbombelli]

It's too bad I don't really like switchblades a whole lot. But I'm glad this is getting some traction!

 

[cobber]

But what about the children!!??

I'm waiting for the repeal of the unconstitutional ban on Chinese throwing stars. Disgraceful.
