Two years in a row – knife preemption bill failed to move in Mississippi. Enacting knife preemption would make Mississippi the sole authority on knife laws. No local government or political entity can enact any law more restrictive that the state law.

Quarterly Board of Regents and Advisory member meeting held at SHOT Show and winner of annual Membership Knife Giveaway drawn.

2015 Virginia SB 1130 to repeal legislation that makes an individual guilty of a misdemeanor for possession of a switchblade, as well as dirk, blackjack and other undefined items failed due to negative publicity about brass knuckles and oriental stars!

If this legislation is enacted, Pennsylvania would have no knife prohibitions and statewide uniformity or “preemption .”

Another effort to ensure knife owners or maker does not have to deal with a multitude of knife laws within their state. Let’s get this done in 2015!
