Are you serious? There have been many times I've only had one hand to operate my knife I needed. Also, you must intend for a handicapped person with only one hand to suck up more bad luck. Knife laws like NYC's only restrict law abiding citizens.

I say he's trolling. He gets a thrill each time you guys respond.

Partly. I went through his previous posts and this kind of fits his pattern. He lives out in rural Alaska or Canada and has very little sympathy, and no empathy, for those of us who live and work in the asphalt rabbit warrens of the city.

Life is very different here. Most of us don’t have to worry about getting our homes washed off their foundations, but have to shred our junk mail to keep the meth addicts from trying to steal out identities.

Keep up the good work!

I am mostly disappointed by those manufacturers who are NOT involved. Some pretty high-profile makers. Whose one-handed-opening stuff I own. Especially one biggie. Yeah, you know *exactly* who I'm not thinking of... I'm pretty sure this aspect has been discussed before, but in my case I think it will affect any future knife purchases I make. Clearly they don't seem to really believe (when/where it counts) major aspects of their own marketing/promotion.

OHO isn't essential, but it is damn handy - I've needed it a couple of times and use it all the time.

more importantly this isn't about the law, - it is about how it is applied. If there are laws passed, as citizens we are duty bound to comply with them, and if we want to change them lobby our representatives. it may be frustrating but that is how the system works.

What I believe DR is challenging is the authorities misrepresnting those laws to suit their own agenda - and I applaud his efforts on this.

This sounds like sarcasm to me.

In Florida, a concealed carry permit applies to edged weapons.

Sadly, I can kind of relate to this.

Fortunately, most laws have exemptions to one-handed openers with FD/EMS/LE and military. Fortunately I've been involved in one or another since '96, and I've never had a cop once glance at a knife I've had.

That being said, kudos to DR and Knife Rights. Even NYC makes me nervous with their rampant anti-weapon paranoia.

I wonder if DC's recent strike-down on firearm bans is going to help thier case?

Florida CCW doesn't apply to Crowds. So if your in a crowd or a sporting event or a gathering the CCW doesn't apply.. I will double check this and edit my posting.
