There has been a bill presented in PA to remove all restrictions on knives including autos. It's difficult to find the current results. All but one link seems to take me to old reports. The most current I've seen was one that said that it was adjourned on January 4.
Anyone know the results or is it still pending?
Currently, it's legal to own as a curio but not to carry, sell, etc.
I'd appreciate any info that you might have for our Pennsylvania members.
Thanks

Be nice if this could pass, maybe then we could get some new Case automatics.
Re: PA knife laws 2016
It passed in Wisconsin! I hope the governor of Pennsylvania has the same good common sense.

Re: PA knife laws 2016
Yes! Wisconsin now allows knives, including switchblades, (signed into law by the Governor on 2-6-16) to be carried, concealed if preferred, by anyone who is legally able to own a firearm. You do not need a concealed carry permit, just the standard legal right to own a firearm i.e., not be a convicted felon or a mental case, I guess. That is really fantastic! Cheers to Doug Ritter, who was there and gave the governor a custom Pro-Tech knife with the Wisconsin state seal and the Governor's name engraved on it. How cool is that!

Re: PA knife laws 2016
It's been a while since I read about the bill that was presented to remove knife restrictions in PA. I can't find anything online with any current updates. I've been to the suggested sites but no word.
Anyone have any information as to whether this bill is going through or are autos still illegal in PA?
