Knife Rights: Virginia Switchblade Concealed Carry Ban Repeal Bill Introduced

#1

Post by critter »

Our repeal last year of Virginia's ban on switchblades (automatic) knives did not include repeal of the ban on concealed carry. Our good friend Delegate Lee Ware, who sponsored the first attempt at repealing Virginia's switchblade ban in 2017 (vetoed by Gov. McAuliffe), has introduced [URL='https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp60 ... ful+HB2298]HB 2298[/URL] that would remove switchblades from the list of weapons that cannot be carried concealed.

Knife Rights will let you know when it is appropriate to contact your Virginia legislators to support HB 2298.

Knife Rights has led the effort to repeal switchblade bans or restrictions in 20 states, starting with New Hampshire in 2010. Repeals have since been enacted in Alaska, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.

Knife Rights is America’s grassroots knife owners’ organization; leading the fight to Rewrite Knife Law in America™ and forging a Sharper Future for all Americans™. Knife Rights efforts have resulted in 40 bills enacted repealing knife bans in 26 states and over 150 cities and towns since 2010.
