Later in the trip I walked into a knife shop in Venice and bought about 4 stilettos including a trapdoor otf. Sadly I sold the otf and the oth...

Re: Federal switchblade act repeal
The bill number for the Knife Owners Protection Act is HB84. My representative is a co-sponsor of the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act. I have talked to her interns both last week and this week to thank her and suggest that she co-sponsor KOPA as well. I will follow up with a brief email next week. I...

Re: Why do you favor automatics over other knives?
I like the Italian stilettos, etc. in particular because they fit my perceived persona as a senile delinquent!

Assault Weapon Ban
After 4 years of carefully avoiding the subject, Obama showed his true colors at the last debate when he called for reinstating the Clinton assault weapon ban! With his history in Illinois of voting for voting to prosecute individuals who used handguns in self-defense and the pattern of lawsuits fou...

Re: New England Parkinson's Ride
I appreciate the support. I did see a donation that I did not recognize. Altogether our team has raised $13,786 for the Michael J. Fox Foundation in support of our ride tomorrow not including the Matching Challenge.

Re: New England Parkinson's Ride
Viking, I try to balance my "senile" delinquency towards switchblades with a few good acts! I am also thankful that I have been able to turn around my health so quickly. My exercise routine has kept me pretty busy. This election year is also taking up time as I have been volunteering with a couple o...

Re: New 9"Revolution proto damascus-MOP
Shoot, if I'd seen something like that when I visited Armando's shop last year with Michele, I would have snatched it!

New England Parkinson's Ride
Back in March I suffered a minor heart attack. My recovery has been excellent but the hospital bills kept me away from the Blade Show this year. As part of my rehab I took up bike riding. My sister's husband is a member of the board of directors for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Rese...

I also am a member of Knife Rights and recommend everyone who loves knives to join.

Re: New Missouri Switchblade Law
Yesterday, July 10, both Missouri bills that contained re-writes of the knife laws, SB 489 & HB 1647, were signed into law by Governor Nixon. According to the NRA-ILA SB 489 contains an emergency clause so the bill went into effect on signing. Switchblades are now excluded from the banned weapons li...
