| Are auto-knives legal in your great state? And by auto knife, i mean auto knife, switchblade, whatever you want to call it. Use a Benchmade Infidel for reference if need be. |

You can carry 14 guns concealed legally (if they are listed on your Nevada CCW permit) but you can't legally conceal a knife with a blade length of three inches or more. Plus, auto-opening knives are verboten (other than LE and MIL). Go figure. Sheesh.

Don't take this wrong, bro...... but keep your CA attitude in CA.... do NOT bring it here. If you do, you'll see too many middle fingers aimed at you.  What are you talking about? What CA attitude? I'm around the NV boards quite a bit. Feel free to point out whatever attitude I've thrown around. ErnieB, Chiz, GloryBigs and a few others will vouch for me, I'm not your typical PRK prisoner. |

HC, i think javalina is referring to the 'great state' reference. He probably doesn't realize that you were being serious, and were actually moving here.
Don't listen to 1337, he's a rabble rouser. Anyhow, here's a statute regarding switchblades: NRS 202.350 (h) “Switchblade knife” means a spring-blade knife, snap-blade knife or any other knife having the appearance of a pocketknife, any blade of which is 2 or more inches long and which can be released automatically by a flick of a button, pressure on the handle or other mechanical device, or is released by any type of mechanism. The term does not include a knife which has a blade that is held in place by a spring if the blade does not have any type of automatic release. |

JH, I don't know han_cholo personally, but I will say this: everything I have read that he has written on the boards and what has been written about him is squared X's 10. Just because a person hails from Kommiefornia (some people just can't escape the carnage quick enough) doesn't mean that they are out to destroy life as we know it. I know h_c is a staunch supporter of what we all stand for here. Maybe you were just kidding, but I had to throw my hat in the ring for him. Just providing a little CY6 for the brother.

I know they are illegal to possess, but are auto knives illegal to "own"?
I do not know if "keep" is the same definition as "own" in NV. I guess it sounds as ludicris as Washington state's silencer law. You can "own" and "possess" a suppressor, just not allowed to "use" it. Thanks V OUT |

Thanks Joe. Very kind of you. No problem, h_c. I'm just doing the right thing here to CY6. I have never met you and I do not know you, but I have read your stuff and I don't believe that you deserve the bullshit here on this forum. I get ill when people pass judgement on others because of where they come from. When a guy (or gal) is on a board and their registration on the board displays Kommiefornia, Jersey, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts (all Kommunist states) etc, it is automatically assumed that the person is a liberal grabber with a lack of knowledge and no clue. We are all in this cesspool together and we should not forget that. I have trained and conducted training for people from "free gun" states that have affirmed themselves to be "squared-away" on their politics and gun fighting skills and they have demonstrated nothing more than abysmal skills and mindsets. I can't tell you how many 'Red, White, and Blue" gun owners that voted for the current administration. That division is the reason we are in the position we are in and it makes me sick. We need to come together, not divide. Now is not the time. Be Safe. Joe |
