Nevada State Senator James Settelmeyer has introduced SB176, a Comprehensive Knife Law Reform Bill that Knife Rights requested which would repeal the existing bans on switchblade knives, dirks, daggers and belt buckle knives and would also enact Knife Rights' Knife Law Preemption. Nevada has come a long way since Knife Rights killed a ridiculous bill in 2011 which would have declared any knife with blade over two inches long to be a "dangerous knife." SB 176 has been assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The hearing on SB176 is scheduled for Feb. 27th. Millions travel to Las Vegas every year, so this is of concern to all of us. Please contact the Judiciary Committee Members (listed below) AS SOON AS POSSIBLE and politely ask them to support SB176.
SB 176 is particularly important in Nevada which is home of the annual Shooting, Hunting & Outdoor Trades (SHOT) Show where thousands of knives are displayed every year, many of which are illegal to possess by anyone without a local manufacturing permit.
Knife Law Preemption repeals and prevents local ordinances more restrictive than state law which only serve to confuse or entrap law-abiding citizens traveling within or through the state. Preemption ensures citizens can expect consistent enforcement of state knife laws everywhere in a state.
Knife Rights passed the nation's first Knife Law Preemption bill in Arizona in 2010 and has since passed preemption bills in Georgia, Kansas, New Hampshire, Tennessee and Utah.
Knife Rights passed the nation's first repeal of a state knife ban in New Hampshire in 2010, legalizing switchblades, dirks, daggers and stilettos. Since then Knife Rights has passed repeals of switchblade bans other knife restrictions in Alaska, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas. In Washington state knifemakers can now legally manufacture automatic knives.
Automatic knives are legal in 38 states, 26 with no restrictions whatsoever. Seven of those 26 states have been added by Knife Rights since 2010.
