Knife Rights’ Vermont Knife Law Preemption & Switchblade Ban Repeal Bills Introduced

[Critter]

Longtime Knife Rights friend Vermont Representative Patrick Brennan has filed a Knife Law Preemption bill, H.49. The bill would simply add “knives” to the existing Vermont firearms preemption statute. Rep. Brennan along with Rep. Seth Chase have also introduced H 124, which would repeal Vermont’s ban on switchblade knives

Switchblades with a blade 3 inches or more in length are the only knives outlawed in Vermont. Vermont has never required a permit to carry a firearm open or concealed. So, you can carry any firearm open or concealed and you can carry any knife open or concealed except a switchblade with a blade 3 inches or longer. That's the only knife not allowed to even posses. Switchblades under 3 inches are perfectly legal. It's time to get rid of this archaic knife ban that accomplishes no useful purpose.

Knife Rights will monitor this legislation and let you know when we need you to act to support these bills.

Preemption prevents enforcement of existing local knife ordinances and prohibits new ordinances more restrictive than state law which only serve to confuse or entrap law-abiding citizens traveling within or through the state. Preemption ensures citizens can expect consistent enforcement of state knife laws everywhere in a state.

Knife Rights signature Knife Law Preemption effort started with enactment of the nation’s first Knife Law Preemption bill in Arizona in 2010. In total, ten states have now enacted Knife Rights’ Knife Law Preemption bills.

^ Night Rider politics here in general gonna get ya in trouble. only trying to be helpful nothing more.

good to see more states coming around step by step on legal legit knife use and carry. wish we could get floriduh to include one set of state laws on knives like we do for firearms already and end the county and city all over the map different rules that makes a law follower confused and potentially a criminal by having a simple tool for normal use.

thanks Doug for the hard work your doing for us all.

Thanks jbmonkey you are right and apologies to anyone offended. I get a little heated thinking back on all the restrictions that this state has put on gun owning citizens. Again Apologies to all and Hats off to the men and women who are working so hard on this.
