How does this relate to out of state visitors?

Since a non-resident can't have a FOID, I think they're still out of luck.

I ordered a few to sell at the New Berlin gun show this weekend. Not sure if anyone else will have them though?

I assume it will be treated the same as firearm for non-resident. Since they can't get FOID, they are ok as long as they aren't a prohibited person.

Not 100% sure but, that would be my take on it.

Similar experience with GP Knives. Placed order Tuesday afternoon and arrived Friday morning. Adams is another that I will use in the future.

Nothing in the bill mentions blade length...

Correct. Which would make me assume all of the local ordinances regarding blade length still apply, as do the local muni codes around sales and possession as there is no preemption in the bill.

Having said that I haven't heard of anyone getting charged with those violations. My guess is these get thrown in as pile on charges if you've already got something going on with an LE stop.

I would also give Adams a thumbs up!

Thanks. Looks like 3 inches still max?

Many of those codes have a qualifying phrase about "criminal intent" fortunately, but in general it is 3";however, places like Chicago have a 2.5" law on the books so ymmv as to if criminal intent is presumed. Loves Park has a 1.5" limit on their books
