I carry a Zero Tolerance assisted opener that is right at the 3.5" limit. Of course, if we all started emailing our legislators at the state level then we might get something moving. You all know this, but worth mentioning, it is ludicrous that we are allowed to carry a 3.5" manual or assisted opener but not an auto. The blades are equally sharp and can deploy just about at the same speed. It makes no sense to make autos illegal. It does not give any person a clear advantage in a fight or while committing a crime or even while legally defending one's self...or at opening those pesky boxes.

So then why do I want one you ask...because it is fun. I am willing to spend at least $250 on a quality OTF so I can sit there watching my favorite TV show drinking a Mountain Dew and snapping that OTF in and out. Fun, fun, fun...and good for the economy.
