| From what I have seen, it looks like automatic knives are kosher here in Arkansas. Anyone with a better handle on that care to chime in? |

Lol, I'd like something a little more definitive than "I think so".  Well it appears to be a moot point now, as they can't be shipped direct to consumers across state lines even if it is legal to own/carry here. Such a shame, as I was looking forward to adding this little beauty to my collection.

I bought a nice benchmade from bladehq earlier this year. You can also probably buy one from some place like aregos. (though ive never asked) |

Lol, I'd like something a little more definitive than "I think so". Per Terry Hastings of LRPD (ran into him at the knife counter at Bass Pro this evening so I asked him) - there are no longer any restrictions on ownership of automatic knives in Arkansas. Any restrictions would be due to other things - such as a prohibited person, etc - not the mechanism by which the knife is operated. |

Someone explain to me why autos would not be covered under 5-73-120? It doesn't differentiate between autos and other knives. And knives aren't illegal to carry. What about this? Not trying to be difficult. Just trying to get beyond the "I think so" statements
