After much wrangling back and forth, the Nevada Senate unanimously passed a watered-down version of Knife Rights' comprehensive knife law reform bill, SB 176. Given the controversy over dirks and daggers, as previously reported, it is no small accomplishment that we were able to maintain the repeal on the ban of dirks and daggers in the bill, along with repeal of the ban on switchblade (automatic) knives, which is a big step forward in Nevada. Be assured that your calls and emails helped make a difference in preventing dirks and daggers from being deleted from the bill.
Unfortunately, the controversy over dirks and daggers slowed the bill down and provided time for opponents of knife law preemption to apply political pressure, resulting in the preemption section of the bill being stripped out.
The bill now moves over to the House. As soon as it is appropriate, we will let you know that it is time to call or write House members on SB 176.
