You had better check with our local laws or law enforcement. Spring assisted knives are illegal in almost every jurisdiction that I know of.
yes, you can but you probly cant if your intending to hurt someone
3 3/4 inches with no spring assisted opening blades.
Yes switchblade's are illegal in Colorado as is any knife that is assisted opening such as a gravity knife like the butterfly knife or is assisted with a spring or lever. This is not completely true. A knife that is "spring assisted" is legal as long as you have to have direct contact with the blade to open it (such as those that have a small nub on the back of the blade, or those that have a thumb nub), while "spring loaded" or "automatic" (as stated above) are illegal. Many knife makers such as Kershaw have spring "assisted" knives that are completely legal in Colorado.
It is legal for you to carry an assisted opening knife but not a switchblade. An assisted opening knife does not have a button but does have a spring, you slightly open the knife and then it opens the rest of the way for you.Remember it has to be under 5.5 inches.
No, they are considered gravity knifes and considered a felony with up to 5yrs jail time if caught. A 3in spring assisted knife is perfectly legal to carry.
No. In Massachusetts, it is illegal to carry a switch blade or gravity knives (such as a butterfly knife) it is 100% legal to own them however. You can also carry knives if your a minor. Also there is no size limit, whether the knife is on your person or at home. But as clarification, a switchblade is a knife that has its blade that expends out of the front or side of the handle by pressing a button or lever. You have to be touching the blade itself to fling it open, even if it is spring assisted. So basically here is a quick rundown. Anyone with no serious criminal record can carry ANY knife on there person as long as you have to touch the metal part of the blade to open it. Cheers.
no
A switchblade is an automatic open knife. You only have to press a button and the blade deploys. These are illegal to own in many states and illegal to carry in public in others. A spring loaded knife is an assisted open blade. This means that you still have to apply some pressure to get it to open, either with a thub stud or with a flipper. These are legal in most places, depending on the length of the blade. There are various assisted opening mechanisms and spring loaded is one of them. Others include ones operated by torsion bars like Ken Onion SpeedSafe, which is used in Kershaw and Zero Tolerance knives
It is illegal to sell a switchblade in Delaware, even if you are licensed to sell deadly weapons. Furthermore it is illegal to own or carry a switchblade in Delaware. the closest thing would be a spring assisted open knife. check out Kershaw Knives.
A standard pocket knife or folding knife no longer than 4.5 inches in the closed position is legal to carry. I believe daggers, bowie, spring loaded or butterfly knives are not legal to carry.
As of my last update, spring-assisted knives are legal in Vermont. The state does not have specific laws prohibiting the possession or carry of these types of knives. However, it's always advisable to check the most current local laws or regulations, as they can change.
Any jury would probably classify your spring knife as a dangerous weapon in a court trial. Although, it is NOT illegal to carry a knife or a gun if it is NOT concealed. So if you carry it in a holster on your hip IN PLAIN VIEW nobody can say anything about it. UNLESS there is a sign posted saying you can not carry one- such as on a store front window. Also you can not carry a knife or a gun if you are a minor, or a FELON. And take special care because in certain places it is always illegal to carry a weapon such as a school zone or federal building.166.240 Carrying of concealed weapons. (1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, any person who carries concealed upon the person any knife having a blade that projects or swings into position by force of a spring or by centrifugal force, any dirk, dagger, ice pick, slungshot, metal knuckles, or any similar instrument by the use of which injury could be inflicted upon the person or property of any other person, commits a Class B misdemeanor.(2) Nothing in subsection (1) of this section applies to any peace officer as defined in ORS 133.005, whose duty it is to serve process or make arrests. Justice courts have concurrent jurisdiction to try any person charged with violating any of the provisions of subsection (1) of this section. [Amended by 1977 c.454 §1; 1985 c.543 §2; 1989 c.839 §21; 1999 c.1040As far as I have found, there is no length limit on knives. The only restriction is where and what type you can carry.
