You should know that it is a federal felony for anyone to sell, transport interstate, or distribute these knives, unless they were manufactured in the state of sale, or were manufactured and possesses for the U.S. Armed Forces under contract. Furthermore, it is a felony for an individual to transport them into another state, possess on any federal waters outside of a state's jurisdiction or Indian land.  The only exceptions to these prohibitions are if the person in possession has only one arm, and the blade is three or less, or the person is a member of the armed forces performance of duty.  So, keep them off your person if gambling on the Seminole reservation, on an ocean voyage, or travel state-to-state.   Otherwise, it's a five year federal fe1 USC 1241-1245. Likewise, try to remember you need a CWP to carry these anywhere off your property or business.  They a not a "common pocket knife".

However, to clarify - it is not illegal under federal to own a switchblade knife manufactured out-of-state, and acquired n Florida. It is illegal to bring them into the State, or transport out of the State. It would also be illegal to sell or give someone such a knife if it were manufactured out of state. And yes - it's a really stupid law.

Like many FSN members, I try to be a well informed gun owner and when I started out I bought a copy of Jon Gutmacher's book.

I've since purchased each subsequent edition to stay sharp. Recently I was talking to Jon to get some in stock for shooting season and he told me the new edition would be on the way shortly and not to order.

Today, I got the news that the new versions of the book will be available December 1 and they are taking orders immediately. So, like a good gun dealer I'd like to keep the FSN crew informed and get a quantity discount at the same time.

Retail price is $31.50.

I can do books for $26.50, with tax including shipping if we can get a good size quantity. If theres a huge amount involved I might be able to get it down to $25 - but thats 50-75 FSN members getting on board.

Who's in?

12/3/10 update:

I have plenty for everyone, if you didn't post in the thread it doesn't matter - there is more than enough here to make sure anyone who wants a copy will get one.

I'm going to have to do them all at $26.50 - even with the quantity where it is at, I was unable to get any extra discounting. This price INCLUDES sales tax and shipping.
