As you can imagine, the gun community is *not pleased*. Oregon City’s PD has already taken down the original post. Assuming that Benchmade is still planning on having their large booth at NRAAM, things could get interesting.

Some “Wonderful” Christmas Presents

By | December 19, 2018

The owners of my martial arts studio decided that they needed to give my wife and I his and her knives. I present to you… these beauties. There is something about truly terrible knives that just puts a smile on my face. Oh, and in *true* terrible knife fashion, you can see the chip in… Read More »

Ah… the joys of knife laws.

Quick note: I realized that it might be helpful for folks for me to post modified transcripts of my segments on Assorted Calibers Podcast.  Especially, since some of them are serious info dumps.  The fact that this means that I get to reuse stuff in multiple places is completely unrelated… I swear.  This is the… Read More »

“I’d never pay more for a knife than I did for a gun.” “yeah… about that…” I probably still need help… Oh, I guess I should have included the Heritage Arms Rough Rider .22 revolver in that pic.  I think I paid $120 for that…

Why I Don’t Carry a Dedicated Defense Knife

By | April 5, 2017

I think we’ve all seen or heard people advise folks that you should always carry a defensive knife that’s razor sharp and never use it as your EDC knife for opening boxes, etc.  I just don’t buy it. First off, there’s a simple issue of carrying one more thing.  I already carry my gun, keys,… Read More »

EDC knife: never leave home without it

By | March 3, 2015

I was helping a friend pull an engine from the local junk yard for his truck this weekend.  This typically means that you’re going to have to cut a couple hoses and a belt or two.  It was also useful to push the valve to check to see if the A/C system was still pressurized. … Read More »

So… I think I found the knife I’m going to get when July 1st rolls around and switchblades are legal in this state. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_jPlq6oZVQ&w=560&h=315] I mentioned that I’m childish about some things, right?

Annnnnd it’s been signed!

Looks like the bill that legalizes buying/owning/possessing switchblades and carrying knives over 4″ has been signed and is now law.  Well, not immediately.  The law will take effect July 1st. Looks like I’ve got a few months to figure out what auto knife I’m going to be buying.

Woohoo!

That bill to repeal the ban on buying/owning/selling switchblades and carrying blades larger than 4″ here in TN?  It’s passed the State House! So… now it’s off to the Governor’s desk to sign, and it passed with more than enough votes in both houses of the state legislature that they could override a veto if… Read More »

If you’re in TN, contact your state reps!

Look like the bill to remove the ban on switchblades and carrying knives over 4″ is heading to the house floor.  Hopefully, they won’t have the issue that they did last year where a sheriff with PSH convinced the House that these knives were too evil and scary for the general public. I’ve already informed… Read More »
