So what's everyone buying to celebrate?  I'm looking at a couple from Protech...

I'm building myself a new bowie whenever I finish current orders. I think about 10.5" of 1084 blade with a nice handle should carry well

Protechs are on my short list.  They have some Protech/Emerson models that interest me!

Little bit lighter LOL

I've got to wonder though, these laws we've been discussing in other threads about concealed carry firearms. Every town seems to have a law about carrying a weapon. Has anyone seen the wording?  Are we going to be in the same situation?

That was after the death of the Spaniard. I'm referring to his kiltier days. Edited March 4, 2013 by Chucktshoes

Yes. IIRC, there is no state supremacy law on the books regarding knives. Any local ordinances would be valid.

Gotcha E

Nope.  The bill we are discussing has a supremacy clause.  

 

http://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/billinfo/BillSummaryArchive.aspx?BillNumber=SB1015&ga=108

 

This bill specifies that state criminal law regarding weapons is preemptive with respect to the transfer, ownership, possession or transportation of knives and no city, county, or metropolitan government may occupy any part of the field of regulation of the transfer, ownership, possession or transportation of knives.

[Chucktshoes]

^Awesome.

[Capbyrd]

Coming up!

Bell just had it shelved until Thursday as it is "cutting edge legislation."  

[Il Duce]

Literally

[aquaman67]

I contacted my State Senator about this bill. I hope it passes.

[Capbyrd]

I would urge you all to contact everyone you can about it.  We have three days until its heard again and its likely to be a split vote.  We need to make sure that our legislators know the facts.  Tell them to look at the fiscal note that is attached.  1 arrest per year for switchblades.  It saves the state money for housing the "criminal" and saves locals money (time spent dealing with it by local LEA).  

[Guest Cami]

Hoping the state has a clue and passes this.  It is a silly restriction in the first place.

[Randall53]

Why in blazes was no supremacy clause included in the CCW law? Its like a trap waiting in the trail in a lot of these small Towns.

[ttocswob]

The big question if this passes: Will Sportsman's Guide finally let us order knives?

[SourwoodJD]

Contacted my representatives about this last night via email and shared info about it on my facebook. Sure hope it passes

[dcloudy777]

Looks like the Senate approved with 27 ayes.  

[Capbyrd]

[gjohnsoniv]

I like the way that looks.

[quesogrande]

so its law or does it need to go somewhere else now?  Or when is this in effect ?

Looks like the Senate approved with 27 ayes.
