Maine state Representative Joel Stetkis has introduced "an act to restore access to certain knives." This Knife Rights authored bill would repeal Maine's irrational and antiquated ban on automatic (switchblade) and gravity knives. We expect to have a bill number later this week
Automatic knives are legal with no restrictions in 26 states, while 12 others allow them with various restrictions. Seven of those 26 states have been added by Knife Rights since 2010. Knife Rights passed the nation's first repeal of a switchblade (automatic) knife ban in 2010 in New Hampshire and has since passed repeal of switchblade bans (and repealed other knife restrictions) in Alaska, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas. In Washington state knifemakers can now legally manufacture automatic knives.
Knife Rights will let you know as soon as it is appropriate to contact your legislators about this bill.
