Knife Rights: Wisconsin AB 142 Switchblade Ban Repeal Bill Update

#1

Post by critter »

The Wisconsin Assembly's Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety last week held a hearing on AB142, a bill which as drafted would have repealed the ban on possession of switchblade (automatic) knives and allowed carry by CCW permit holders and law enforcement.

Based upon input prior to the hearing and testimony by Todd Rathner, Knife Rights' Director of Legislative Affairs, and others, the consensus of the committee was that some aspects of the bill should be re-drafted to avoid confusion and that knife law preemption should be included. That process is occurring now with input from Knife Rights and should be concluded within the next few weeks. We will update you once we see a final amended bill and it is time to take further action.

Your calls and emails helped to provide support for improving this pro-knife bill, thank you!
