From the AKTI link I posted a few posts back:TazmanTom18 wrote:I believe it is Federally illegal to ship across state lines, usps has its own internal "rule" against it, but ups and fedex do not. I don't know where the legality of shipping to law enforcement or active military comes into play.
KenThe FSA only prohibits your ability to send automatic knives through the postal service. It makes no restrictions on shipping knives using the other carrier services as long as it is not being sold across a state line.

Re: "Switchblade Law" question
There are many online sellers that will happily sell and ship to any state. Other sites make it clear that it is the buyers responsibility to understand the state & fed laws and if you aren't military or law enforcement, you might be breaking the law. I have also seen sites that make you fill out a form stating you ARE military or law enforcement. But heck, you can also buy automatic knives from China that are shipped to your door. Those are crossing a lot more than just a state border!

Re: "Switchblade Law" question
Virginia law related to concealed switchblades is changing on July 1!
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: "Switchblade Law" question
Congratulations, buddy!
You'll now be able to enjoy all your God given rights that have been denied to you guys for so long.
I'd LOVE to be there on July 1st just to witness all the guys whipping out their autos and cracking them open for the simplest reasons!
Have fun, John!

Come on down, Mark. We can just stand around King St. flicking our autos and checking out the sights. It is a Saturday this year.

Re: "Switchblade Law" question
I know of people who have buying them for years, laws, we don't need no stinkin knife laws!
Re: "Switchblade Law" question
VA legalized buy/sell/trade last year, and in July, it's supposed to be legal to carry them concealed (open was legal since last year). HOWEVER "stilettos" are supposedly excluded--which is confusing. I know Stiletto can mean a slender auto like a Latama, but in my view, it's always been knives like the Fairbairn Sykes/V-42.
I'm probably just going with a Boker Kalashnikov or some Pro-Tech (unless I can get a buddy of mine to trade me another knife for his well-used AFO), so it's not a problem, but that clause just doesn't make sense.

Hey Red, Is the Tiffany Tavern still on King Street? I played there back in the 80's. O'.

Man, I loved that place, used to go with friends on Fridays after work. Ted, the owner, was a nice guy and the food was excellent. Sadly, it's no more, not even sure if Ted's still alive. Laughing Lizard Lounge and Rocket Grill have live mic I think, both on King St. too.

We could even wear black leather jackets and be rowdy, and who knows, they might bring the law back, they did it once for those reasons, no reason to believe the powers that be have grown-up and matured over this issue!

Red: Pretty sure Ted died. It was funny, the Bluegrass crowd would be raising sand in the bar and the Greeks would be partying in the back. Talk about two different cultures! Good times. J.O'.

Raising a glass for Ted, he was a good guy.
