Hell yes. Keeping tabs on this. I have no use (maybe I'll get an infidel) but would love to be able to have a butterfly on me bored at work and not go to jail for it

Wonder if the State Police will nix this as it did with pistol registration elimination that once passed, and the Governor didn't sign.
|

It's good. Means it has made it out of committee and is being presented to the whole House with a recommendation to pass it without any amendments.
|
|
Can hardly wait for this to pass. Got a couple of different models picked out.
Protech Emerson CQB-7 Protech Magic BR-1 |
|
If the bill passes and is signed by Gov Snyder, I guess that will moot the old saying, "I'd give my left arm to own a switchblade knife."
|
|
Now if this passes will it automatically affect the laws concerning auto knives and having a CPL or will the CPL laws need to be adjusted as well?
|
|
|
I'm curious about what laws, as well.
|

when you look at the application it lists things disallowing you the ability of get or have a CPL one of the things is possession or use of a switchblade. i dont remember the exact wording where i i saw it but here is one site listing something simulate to what i saw. http://michgunlaws.com/michigan-cpl-laws.htm
It lists 12. Have not been convicted of one of the following misdemeanors in the 8 years immediately preceding the date of application: which lists "Sale or possession of a switchblade, MCL 750.226a" I guess in simple thought, if the ruleing is changer making it no longer a illegal devise, it would just fall off the list of things that are considered a crime making the whole thing kind of mute, though i know in "LAW" simple rarely enters the picture.. |

Anyone know if it will get sent to Snyder before then? |

Was presented to the Governor at 2:36pm today.
Has until 2:36pm on 7/25 to sign, veto, or do nothing on. Signing, or doing nothing will work. |

Michigan Switchblade Ban Repeal Bill Signed by Governor
Knife Rights' Michigan Switchblade Ban Repeal bill, SB 245, was signed yesterday by Governor Rick Snyder. SB 245, sponsored by Senator Rick Jones, simply repeals Section 226a (switchblade ban) of the Michigan penal code originally enacted in 1952. SB245 is the culmination of years of effort by Knife Rights and our friends in Michigan including Senator Mike Green, the original sponsor of the bill. SB245 becomes effective in 90 days on October 10, 2017. Switchblade (Automatic) knives remain illegal in Michigan until then. Knife Rights Chairman Doug Ritter noted, "this is a great day for Michigan knife owners, but there is still plenty of work to be done to rid Michigan of its remaining archaic and vague knife restrictions. Knife Rights will keep working until Michigan's law-abiding knife owners are free to carry any blade they want." |

Nope.
That's the history of the bill from start to finish, and what was sent to the Governor, which he signed into law yesterday. Now, we wait until October 10th to legally carry and posses a auto knife in Michigan |
|
|
In before every locality bans them (if they aren't already)
We NEED knife preemption. Its ridiculous. |
|
Quoted:
From what I can tell it was given immediate effect, meaning the repeal became effective once signed. Or am I missing something? View Quote The law as amendment, is given immediate effect, starting the 90 day count down. The current ban is still in effect until October 10th, but it's not enforced in all jurisdictions . You can take you chances, but it will cost the loss of your CPL, if convicted in court I'm not a lawyer, but this is how it was explained to me. |
|
|
|
Looks like the house didn't know what they wanted to to. Voted to give it immediate effect, after 90 days. Friggin' politicians.
|
|
so, this begs the obvious question..
what's a good auto knife i can get off amazon for around $50 and have delivered 10/10? |

Which was disappointing but not surprising to me based on the cost for a good quality manual, folding blade knife. Due to the cost, I doubt that I'll buy one. I'd do a search and post a link to the thread, but I'm not a Paying ARFCOM Member. MHO, YMMV, etc. |

I've owned Camilous (misspelled badly), Microtech, and Benchmade. Camilous was a WW2 reproduction and was under $100. The last 2 were $150- $275.
Note: Before you buy an Auto be it from the Manufacturer or a dealer, check the makers repair policy. Benchmade won't touch a non LEO auto for repair if you are out of their State. Feds still have rules against Autos. |

I bought three today Raven Crest RCT-1 , Kershaw Launch 4 and Boker Mini Kalashnikov Tanto . We carry the assisted opening Kershaws hoping their American made autos are just as good. The Boker knives are lower priced maybe still decent ?
|
|
i've had a couple cheap boker knives in the past, was pretty happy with them.
it sounds like my first automatic will be more than what i normally buy... i have a terrible tendency to use mine as prybars, screw drivers, chisels.. etc i'm really bad on using them, heh thanks for the suggestions guys ! |

I'm being told that Stiletto style knives are still prohibited ?
"We are not talking about double-edged stiletto knives. These are spring-assisted knives, such as utility knives commonly carried by police officers and members of the National Guard."
Stiletto knives would remain illegal. View Quote |

Quoted:
I'm being told that Stiletto style knives are still prohibited ? Does this mean any OTF knife or refer to thin double edge blades ? View Quote What's strange is the MI State Police were OK with the bill as a result of inconsistent enforcement of the current law. But, their blessing was to exclude double edge blades. Which I don't understand. I almost bought a MicroTech side opening, but ended up getting a Protech / Emerson CQB 7 It will reside in Indiana in my Buddy's safe until October. I'm 5 miles from the state line. |

I'm kind of surprised that Snyder signed it. View Quote From what I read and what I'm told the only no no is double edge blades. |

I'm getting a Microtech ultratech and a Kershaw launch 6.
Do we have to wait till Oct 10 to ship them if ordered online? |
