Thanks to your calls and emails, the Georgia House of Representatives just passed SB432, Knife Rights' Knife Preemption Bill, 124 - 46! Our heartfelt thanks to Senator Bill Heath and Representative David Knight for shepherding this bill through the legislature.
But, it's not quite over yet. Now the bill moves to Governor Nathan Deal's desk for his signature. Without his signature, the bill won't become law. Please use this form to contact Governor Deal's office and politely request that he sign SB432 (see instructions below):

Getting this bill through the legislature was not easy. We also need your help to cover the cost of sending Todd to Atlanta to Lobby. Donate now and you could win BIG! Just a $20 donation and you're eligible to win from the $75,000 in prizes in the 2012 Ultimate Steel Knives, Guns & More Spectacular!

Dear Governor Deal,
I am writing to respectfully request that you to please sign SB432 which makes Georgia's knife laws consistent throughout the state. Georgia is very important to knife collectors and manufacturers worldwide because Georgia is home to the BLADE Show, the largest knife show and event in the world. This show represents millions of dollars and hundreds of jobs for Georgia. SB432 will assure that the BLADE Show can remain in Georgia and its attendees will not have to worry about inconsistent knife laws in Georgia when traveling to and from the show.
