I'm shopping at a SuperWalmart a few miles from my home when I walk thru the sporting goods area and check out whats what(clearance, etc...) I take a quick look in the display case for knives and see the Kershaw assisted opening knives are all marked "Not Available" which is confusing as I just bought one at another Walmart in the area the other day.
I ask the clerk, " Were the Kershaws removed because of legal issues with the county or state?" She says, "No. A cop told our manager that they were dangerous, so he removed them from the display...they're not for sale here anymore." I was confused as they are not illegal under MI state law and tell the clerk this. She rolls her eyes and says, "...yeah we thought so, but the manager told us to remove them...he's checking with the home office about it."
How sad. A legal item is removed from the shelves because a police officer decided to take issue with an item he considered dangerous, while being completely legal. And the manager to go along with it....sad.
On a side note, the store I bought mine from is in Wayne County....a Democratic stronghold and NOT a pro sportsman/hunter/2nd amendment political system while the store that removed the items is in Howell....out in the country where I would have assumed a more conservative group resides....strange.
