AKTI supports the knife rights bill efforts of Rep. Jenn Coffey in New Hampshire.

Rep. Jennifer Coffey, an EMT and New Hampshire representative, has bipartian and multi-organizational support for a bill (HB 1665) which she recently introduced in the New Hampshire legislature. This bill will end the 1955 state ban on the carry of "switch knives", stilettos, daggers and dirks.

In 1992, New Hampshire legislation ended the ban on gun canes and sword canes that was a part of that same law. HB 1665, if passed, will keep law-abiding citizens from being criminals for carrying knives they use as tools in their everyday lives.

Visit Rep. Coffey's website www.knifelawonline.com, read her petition, and make a contribution to her efforts if you can, particularly if you live, work or travel in New Hampshire.

AKTI will be providing documentation for her presentation before the New Hampshire Senate in a few weeks.

NH State Rep. Nancy Stiles, acting on behalf of Hampton Beach Village Precinct Commissioner Chuck Rage, filed a bill that would allow NH cities and towns to ban the sale of cutlery and martial arts weapons in their communities if they feel that they are a "problem". A friend who lives in NH showed me the article from a local newspaper and joked that he will soon have to deal with the same liberal anti-weapon mentality that we do here in Massachusetts. The article was brief and did not specify what type of cutlery could potentially be banned from sale. Not a good sign, though. If I find out anything more, I will post it here.
 
Rep. Stiles bill is NH H 1461 and we are monitoring it to see if it comes out of the House Committee on Municipal and County Government or not.
