Knife Rights' Oklahoma Knife Law Preemption bill, HB 1460, takes effect today. Combined with Knife Rights' Oklahoma Switchblade Carry Ban Repeal bill, HB 1911, that also takes effect today, preemption ensures that switchblade (automatic) knife carriers will not have to deal with local restrictions on automatics and that possession of all knives will be legal throughout the state.

Knife Law Preemption repeals and prevents local ordinances more restrictive than state law which only serve to confuse or entrap law-abiding citizens traveling within or through the state. Preemption ensures citizens can expect consistent enforcement of state knife laws everywhere in a state.

Daggers, Bowie knives and dirks are still prohibited from general carry in Oklahoma. Knife Rights still has some clean-up work to do in Oklahoma, but enactment of these two bills this year is a huge step forward for Oklahomans.

Knife Rights passed the nation's first Knife Law Preemption bill in Arizona in 2010 and has since passed preemption bills in Alaska, Georgia, Kansas, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Utah.

Knife Rights passed the nation's first knife ban repeal in New Hampshire in 2010 and has since passed knife ban repeals in Alaska, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Missouri, Nevada, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Washington.

Great work Doug - sure wish Alabama would get on board with that type of knife law for the state. While the Alabama state are not so bad, there are a mish-mash of city laws that range from "no problem carry" to "no knifes carry". A real mess.

We are committed to work to repeal bad knife laws and pass Knife Law Preemption until we get all the states done. One state at a time is the only way to accomplish that. We'll hopefully get to Alabama before too long.
