Most of my pocket knives are lock-blade, but none would open by gravity or any amount of wrist flicking.
I have never heard of such a silly a$$ed law. A lock-blade prevents a pocket knife from folding up on you in use, it’s nothing but a safety feature.
Why would free men allow themselves to be governed by the nincompoops that would write such a law, much less enforce it?
Like noise suppressors for firearms. The media makes them out to be tools of assassins -- a "silencer" will let you kill people in total secrecy!! In fact, suppressors are about ear protection more than anything else. And the Left opposes them.
Knife control laws are based on the silly notion people are too ignorant to use knives as tools and its better to keep them out of their hands.
Let’s extend that profound logic to pliers and hammers, too. They can also kill.
I’m actually stunned. Other than my kitchen knives, I don’t even own a knife that doesn’t lock open. The non-locking knives seem less steady and safe to me.
Sheesh. When I was a kid, half the student body carried a knife of some sort. I remember one day, a teacher was trying to open a box. He asked if anyone had a knife.
Most of us produced a knife within a couple of seconds. He cut his box open, returned it, and said, “Thank you!”
My 22 year old daughter doesn’t leave the house without a knife. I keep one in my purse for 101 reasons. (Ironically, ‘defense’ isn’t one of those reasons.) A knife is a handy tool and I can’t imagine wandering into the world without one.
