I wish we would deregulate balisongs.

My benchmade is such a good solid knife, shame I can't use it at work.

those evil assault knives....

Funny how in Oklahoma (and most other states) you can get a license to carry a handgun, but it is completely illegal under any circumstances to carry certain types of pocket knives or blunt force weapons in public.

Another one of those knee-jerk laws that is based on the idea that "only hoodlums and mexi-cans and negroes and other undesireables carry them thar switch-blades and sech."

Yet just about every state has such laws.

Who is the most pro 2nd amendment guy in our state legislature I could contact about this?

Without going over voting records completely, my gut says probably Charles Key... he'll be term-limited, though.

You might look into this organization: KnifeRights.org

Here's an article from their latest on-line newsletter:

Straight Talk from The Gunny on Our Knife Rights

I can't think of a more fundamentally useful, basic tool in existence today than a good quality knife. Invented and used by primitive man, it is one of the few tools from the Stone Age that is still in use today. A good knife is a must have in any emergency survival kit worth it's salt. No one in their right mind would go camping, hunting or fishing without a good sharp blade or two on his belt and in his pocket. How would we clean or trim our nails?

If there were ever a law passed restricting our use or ownership of knives, I would not obey it. Restricting the rights of Americans to carry and utilize knives would rank right up there on the dumb scale with restricting the use of other tools such as hammers and wrenches. I would like to know who the Alfred E. Neuman think-a likes are who come up with these ridiculous ideas. Whoever they are, we do need to keep sharp objects out of their reach.

I whole-heartedly endorse the work of Knife Rights and support their mission. I detest the fact that such an organization is even necessary in the United States of America.

Cause there is nothing like a weapons misdemeanor charge on your record when applying for ccw.

Well, my opinion of R. Lee Ermey just went up a few notches!

So is it legal to own one - just not carry it? I've got a handmade one I picked up in the Philippines in the 80's.
