whats the general rule for a knife you can carry around? blade no longer than your middle finger right?? ive been looking at getting one for work maybye with a belt case.

 

yea it should be up his @ss

 

no, its already there. . .

 

I remember back in high school the blade could not be longer than the width of your palm and unfolded it couldn't be longer than from your wrist to the end of your middle finger.

 

I didn't read the article. My fault. That's rediculous.

I think here in Pennsylvania the blade can't be more than 6 inches. I don't remember though so don't hold me to that.

 

Your question makes no sense. Bat juice must be good.

 

I believe others understood it. . . hmMmMmMM

 

That's your second mistake.

i have a leatherman knife with the screw driver tool on it. has a 3 inch serrated blade with a belt clip and has been the most useful knife that i have had. it has the thumb stud so it can be opened with one hand. that would make it illegal. amazing, what are they thinking. it isnt that fast to open since its not spring assisted. my sheetrock/utility knife is quicker to open. even a box cutter is faster. will they be the next to be oulawed?

they keep outlawing stuff and all they are doing is causing people to buy like crazy. i wasnt going to get an ar 15 type assault rifle but now that they are talking semi auto ban i think ill have one in the next couple weeks.

 

I got it, and I have the asked myself and others the same question.

 

So, so, so... banning open assisted pocket knives... for what? I still don't think there is anything wrong with switchblades. It's just a friggin' knife.

What's the difference between having a knife or a pair of scissors?! They'd still do the same amount of damage if one used them for killing.

The U.S. Government Is Trying To Take Away Your Pocket Knives!

The U.S. Government is after your Pocket Knives! In a sneak attack, U.S. Customs has proposed revoking earlier rulings that assisted opening knives are not switchblades. The proposal would not only outlaw assisted opening knives, its overly broad new definition of a switchblade would also include all one-handed opening knives and most other pocket knives!

Knife Rights is geared up to help win this fight, but we cannot do it without your help, your emails, your letters. The fight can only be won if we raise enough hell that they are convinced they will not get away with this. YOU are the most effective arrow in our quiver, the most powerful cartridge in our gun.
Knife Rights Chairman Doug Ritter will be Tom Gresham's guest this Sunday on Tom's nationally syndicated Gun Talk radio show. The topic will be this Customs' proposal. Doug will explain the 63-page document, discuss the potential ramifications for law-abiding knife owners in the U.S., as well as how you can help Knife Rights defeat this over-reaching by Customs.
Doug will appear as the first guest, starting at 1:00 PM Central Time. Some stations, including Sirius/XM satellite, carry the show on a delayed basis. Check at www.GunTalk.com for times and stations.
Read on for the whole story and how you can make a difference and save your Knife Rights.

Knife Rights was formed three years ago because we knew it was only a matter of time before there would be a major attempt to take away our knives, as has occurred in England, Europe and elsewhere. Up until now, the battles have been fought at state and local legislative levels, such as the recent scare in Hawaii: < http://www.kniferights.org/index.php...d=72&Itemid=29 >. It has been a battle of a million little cuts. Little did we guess that the first major battle at a national level wouldn't come head on, but with government bureaucrats trying to sneak it by everyone, avoiding a more conventional legislative battle, which they'd likely lose.
