Can I legally purchase a auto from Bladehq?

Totally agree with Glistam above....I think all knife laws are not needed also. There are however many knife laws and people can easily get in big trouble ( life changing issues) due to certain types of knives. That is what we all discuss here.

Dave, all due respect, I have tried to respond to you as correctly as possible, but yes , there are many different people out there that break the law...Many different laws. Some are caught and some are not. Not everyone who speeds gets a ticket everytime. We are discussing what the law is here and not so much if it is enforced. It can be enforced at any time against anyone a particular officer see fit to take issue with. The bigest case involed multiple arrests stemmed from a Customs agent in Fl seeing the old news letter with the adds from several different dealers. This was in the mid 1990s. About eight dealers had their homes raided in several different states, and they all had to go to Fl for the court hearings. They were fined, paid legal fees and were monitored after that. Some seem to be selling again today. It can happen again or not....like gambling it is a game of chance whenever you break the law. That is it for me on this thread...the horse has been beat too many times...lol....
 
One thing's for darn sure. If I get caught carrying a switchblade with a blade length of 2" or more in the State of California, I'm probably going to be in for a very bad hair day. Given that AO knives are perfectly legal to carry and provide essentially the same functionality as a switchblade, why on Earth would I be stupid enough to run that risk?

I could not agree with you more. I had a very similar discussion on a TN website when there was a chance of auto being legalized. After extensive reading, I decided to be happy with my 580 and not take the chance on an auto. I have devoted to much of my life to staying legal. I do not want to go to jail over a stinking knife.
 
Some websites will not ship automatic knives/pepper spray etc...to certain states, some say they wont and will. i ordered a spyderco automatic knife *which are illegal in my state*, and 2 cans of fox 5.3 (which normally have to go through an ffl in my state, didnt feel like doing it just for a can of ps for my moms house) and they mailed it, bang in my mail box 2 days later, illegal, but probably on them. it really just depends on the website, some are greedy

Not only are you admitting to breaking the law, it sounds as if you are advising someone else to do so as well.
How old are you, by the way?
 
It was posted that fines are the penalty under The Switchblade Act of 1958.

Whoever knowingly introduces, or manufactures for introduction, into interstate commerce, or transports or distributes in interstate commerce, any switchblade knife, shall be fined not more than $2,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

15 U.S.C. Sec 1243

That would be the penalty per count of the indictment on which one is found, or pleads, guilty.

(1) Whoever knowingly deposits for mailing or delivery, or knowingly causes to be delivered by mail, according to the direction thereon, or at any place at which it is directed to be delivered by the person to whom it is addressed, anything declared nonmailable by this section, unless in accordance with the rules and regulations authorized to be prescribed by the Postal Service, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

That would depend on what "it" is. Shipping any "switchblade" into California from another state or from California to another state is legal only under the circumstances set out above. Otherwise, it's a felony - or two.
