[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 2189044, member: 7815"] EZ Bake's got it right. It was already arguable that AO knives were legal to carry, but the archaic "spring type knife" language put a cloud over that. Now it'll be very clear. As explained, AOs do not fall under the switchblade language from 1272 (or from federal law) because the user pushes on the blade itself to open them, unlike a switchblade where you press a button or gizmo in the handle of the knife. Re: municipal laws in OK, correct, our state does not (yet!) have a "knife preemption" statute to match our good gun preemption statute, so counties and cities can have their own knife ordinances. We are not as bad as Florida (which has a jillion different municipal restrictions, really hard to comply) but there are some OK municipalities that have legislated in the area. I believe Norman has a 4" maximum blade length limit, for example. Here is a good place to [U]start[/U]: [url]http://www.handgunlaw.us/documents/USKnife.pdf[/url] They tried conscientiously to get it right and it is generally pretty good info, but if you explore further you'll find it is off (or out of date) in a few places. So here is a good place to continue: [url]http://www.municode.com/Library/OK[/url] -- click on the city you're interested in and you can read its municipal code online. To find the section on weapons laws (not all municipalities have such regulations), look for headings like "Offenses," "Public Safety," "Offenses Against Public Order," "Weapons," etc. [/QUOTE]
