Bill > S3264

This bill, the Knife Owners' Protection Act of 2018, aims to protect the right of law-abiding citizens to transport knives interstate, despite a patchwork of local and state prohibitions. The key provisions include: authorizing the interstate transportation of knives as long as they are not directly accessible in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle or are contained in a locked container; allowing emergency knives designed for cutting safety belts to be carried in the passenger compartment; prohibiting arrests or detentions for transporting knives unless there is probable cause of non-compliance; and establishing a right of action for persons deprived of these rights. Additionally, the bill repeals the Federal Switchblade Act and related provisions, effectively deregulating switchblade knives at the federal level.
