(MENAFNEditorial) , a leading knife distributor, has invested knife laws in several states in order to protect law-abiding citizens and knife enthusiasts.
Knife laws can change year-to-year and state-to-state. Those who want to collect knives without hassle should be aware of laws and regulations in their region of the country. Toward that end, Hobanco took a look at the landscape of laws in Arizona, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Georgia and Illinois.
No one wants to deal with added stress when expanding their knife collection, but some law-abiding citizens have been arrested or had their property confiscated simply because they weren't aware of a minor change to the law. It is crucial therefore that knife owners know that they're protected and informed at all times.
Arizona is fairly safe for knife owners, but that hasn't always been the case. Laws were much stricter in 2011 and earlier. This is just one example of why it's so important to stay up to date on knife laws in your area. Learn more here:
