New Knife Legislation in CO?

[kidicarus13]

I haven't been following this bill but how are they "selling" this to the legislature? Seems too good to be true.

Can't believe R. Fields voted in favor of this. Cats and dogs are living together. At least in her District.

You know a vast majority of their constituents can't legally own a gun. This is a poor attempt at a self-defense mechanism.

So this passed the House and is on to the Gov. desk to sign?

Yesterday, March 23, the governor signed the bill. As of August 9, the state law restrictions on switchblade and gravity knives goes away.

From Knife Rights Organization:

Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper on Thursday signed SB 17-008, the bill to repeal Colorado's switchblade and gravity knife ban. Congratulations to sponsors Sen. Owen Hill and Rep. Steve Lebsock for their effective leadership in moving this bipartisan bill thorough the legislature with overwhelming votes in both houses. Thanks to everyone who called or emailed the Governor urging him to sign the bill.

Holy crap. Hickenlooper must finally be embracing (and partaking in) our state marijuana laws. I'm totally shocked he signed off on it.

Hickenlooper 2020? "look at the legislation I signed, I'm pro self defense".
