Ok Guys I know it's been talked about on here before but I have found some new info and wanted opinions on Auto knives, I've been wanting to purchase a Microtech for a while now.
Delaware Law reads:
222. General definitions... (6) "Deadly weapon" includes... a knife of any sort (other than an ordinary pocketknife carried in a closed position), switchblade knife... razor... or any other dangerous instrument. For the purpose of this definition, an ordinary pocketknife shall be a folding knife having a blade not more than 3 inches in length.
(Which to me says, all knives including Switchblades are Deadly Weapons, unless the knife is less than 3 inches and a folder.)
Then it reads:
- Chapter 11 Section 1442. A person is guilty of carrying a concealed deadly weapon when the person carries concealed a deadly weapon upon or about the person without a license to do so... a class G felony...
(This allows me to carry a Concealed Deadly Weapon with a license, which I have. Delaware Law above states that all knives including switchblades are considered deadly weapons.)
Then the law reads:
Chapter 11 Section 1446. A person is guilty of unlawfully dealing with a switchblade knife when he sells, offers for sale or has in his possession a knife, the blade of which is released by a spring mechanism or by gravity... an unclassified misdemeanor.
(So it says possession of a switchblade is illegal, but the law above it says that I can carry a deadly weapon with a permit, and in Delaware any knife including a switchblade is considered a deadly weapon.)
Then I found this on Switchblades Wiki:
Delaware- Legal - Permit required to purchase -State Code: Crimes & Criminal Procedure - Chapter 11 Section 222
Limited - Concealed Carry only allowed with Dangerous Weapons Carry Permit. -State Code: Chapter 11 Section
And on KnifeRights.org it states:
Delaware* (possession requires CCW)
So what do you think?
