I know diddly...perhaps less than diddly on knives....

Assisted openers are fine. Autos are no go here. What were the specific worries you had about them? It was unclear to me how MN treats assisted vs. auto....is there any guidance...case law? No, and it will continue to be unclear. Definitions and regulations vary city by city. Some of the definitions are worded so vaguely that what might be considered an assisted opener to normal people is an auto/switchblade to the letter of the law. |

However, MOST police are going to know the difference. Somebody did a little legwork for MN here: Bladeforums/MN Law Question A little more here: Officer.com I carried one for years and never had any issues. YMMV |
