After two years of effort, Alaska Governor Sean Parnell has signed HB33, Alaska's Knife Rights Act, which enacts sweeping reform of Alaska's knife laws. HB33 legalizes the possession, transfer and carrying of automatic knives (switchblades). It also enacts knife law preemption repealing all local knife laws as well as preventing new ones from being enacted. The effective date of HB33 is September 18, 2013.

Knife Rights would like to thank Governor Parnell for recognizing and expanding the rights of everyday Alaskans as well as the millions who visit Alaska every year to hunt, fish and recreate. We would also like to thank the sponsors of the HB33, Representative Mark Neumann and Senator Fred Dyson, for sponsoring this important legislation.Knife Rights would also like to thank Pro-Tech Knives for their support in helping to pass this legislation.

With Governor Parnell's signature, all of Knife Rights legislation passed this year has now been signed into law. Alaska becomes the 7th state to enact Knife Rights' signature Knife Law Preemption.

Knife Rights Scorecard This Year:

FIVE more Pro-Knife Bills!
Knife Ban Repeals in FOUR more states this year!
Knife Law Preemption in THREE more states this year!

That is awesome, I hope more states follow in their footsteps. Just as they did Florida's CCW laws.
 
First, thank you Doug and knife rights for your tireless efforts on championing our freedoms regarding knives in this country. I can't tell you how grateful I am that you hard work is coming to fruition.
On the suggestion from Doug at knife rights, I sent a letter to governor Parnell of Alaska in support of the proposed knife law repeal. This is a copy of the letter I received back from his office.

Dear Adam,

Like you, I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. Together, we have and will continue to fight every effort by the federal government to infringe upon our constitutional liberties. Today, I signed a legislative package of bills and resolutions to strengthen and protect Alaskans’ Second Amendment rights and to stand against unconstitutional gun control policies promulgated by the federal government. Additionally, I have signed legislation that will allow the manufacture and possession of certain knives in Alaska.

You can view a copy of HB24, HB 33, HB69, HB83, HJR12, SJR2, and SJR6 on the Alaska State Legislature website.

I appreciate that thousands of Alaskans, like you, are willing to voice support for protecting our freedoms, and I am proud to stand with you. If my office can be of assistance to you in the future, please feel free contact us at 907-465-3500.

Best regards,

Sean Parnell

A big THANK YOU to the few governments left in this country that are still of the people, by the people, for the people.
 
You guys are really lucky to have such a vocal support group and such dedicated people fighting for your rights Congratulations :)
 
Congratulations, Alaska! The knife law preemption is a big win, we couldn't get that done here in Texas this time around. Maybe 2015.
