Bill To Allow Concealed Switchblades and Knives.
Saturday, January 23rd, 2016 -- 8:56 AM
(AP) -The state Senate has passed a bill that would allow people to carry concealed switchblades and knives.The chamber passed the measure Wednesday on a voice vote with no debate. The Assembly passed the bill in November; it now goes to Gov. Scott Walker. His spokeswoman said he would review the bill. Manufacturing, selling, transporting, purchasing or possessing a switchblade has been illegal in Wisconsin for decades. Violators are subject to $10,000 in fines and nine months in jail.
The Republican-authored bill would eliminate the prohibition as well as allow anyone who can legally possess a gun to carry concealed knives of any length without a concealed carry license. Local governments would be barred from enacting knife regulations stricter than state law.
