Wisconsin Switchblade Ban Repeal Amended into FullBlown Knife Law Reform & Preemption

By Ammoland

Gilbert, AZ –-(Ammoland.com)- Working closely with AB 142 sponsor State Representative Kathy Bernier and committee staff, Knife Rights Director of Legislative Affairs, Todd Rathner, was able to facilitate the redraft of the limited “switchblade with CCW” AB 142 into a full blown knife law reform bill.

The amended AB142 removes all restrictions on switchblades and concealed carry of knives from Wisconsin statutes with the exception that a person who is prohibited under state law from possessing a firearm may not go armed with a concealed knife that is a “dangerous weapon,” and the bill now also includes Knife Law Preemption.

AB 142 passed the Assembly Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety in a bipartisan vote of 8-2 and now moves to the full Assembly for its consideration.

If you live, work or travel in Wisconsin, CALL or EMAIL your Representative and ask them to please vote in favor of AB 142. That’s all you need to ask of them, keep it simple and polite. Click here to Find Your Legislator on a map, or click here for a listing of the Representatives.
