Preemption in PA mean every where in the state "NO" County, City or Town may pass a Firearms Law other that the one in place by the States Legislators.

We also now have signed into law "Castle Doctrine", so watch out criminals there is no more suing any one in PA if you get hurt while committing a crime and if you die in the process of committing a crime your family can't sue for money either.

You now have the right to use deadly force any where that you have a legal right to be, if you or some one else life is in danger while some one is committing a felony.

My advice to criminals, the simple answer is just DON"T commit a crime and you will be OK... Big Grin

Vermont is "Right To Carry" and I believe,even if you are a non resident you can carry concealed.Without a permit. Anyone know for sure?


Patrick; as are Alaska and Arizona. I can only speak to Arizona's law; if you're here legally and not a prohibitted person, you can carry anything concealed that you can carry openly. And we have preemption, so that you don't have to worry about the law changing when you travel from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. (As, IMHO, it should be in every jurisdiction covered by the Constitution.)

That said, there are certain advantages to obtaining an Arizona CCW. With it, you have reciprocity with several states, you avoid the background check when making a purchase through an FFL, and you can carry concealed into an establishment that serves alcohol, as long as you do not imbibe. Establishments still have the right, as privately owned businesses, to prohibit firearms, too.


I am really starting to warm up to Arizona... Cool


You'll fit right in, just repeat after me: "But it's a dry heat."

Well Perado,

You might have Margaritas in Arizona, but damocles1962 lives in Australia and they have MUCH better BEER and that I know first hand Big Grin

Besides I am an OLD Aussie and still call it Ayers Rock, let the native Aborigines call it what they want..LOL

If you want to talk about Knife Laws look at what damocles1962 is going though with Australian Customs right now, it's turned into a real legal BUN FIGHT....!!!

It remind me of when the Prime Minister John Howard signed away our gun rights and had the so called "Mandatory Gun Buy Back" and the same people that where behind that George Sorros and Rebeca Peters are trying the same thing here in the USA.....!!!

He's such a nice man the old George is, admitting to almost Broking the Bank of England and during WWII he was a self confessed collaborator with the Nazi's sending Jews to there deaths in concentration camps for money.

His take on that lovely little gem of his past is "if I didn't do it, some body else would have" and we have this guy being a supporter and friend of the present President of the United States...!!!

I don't care how much money the dear old George has, he should NOT be allowed into the country little lone shoveling money around and buying politicians...

The whole "Auto" or "Switchblade" things give some people chills. I look at it this way- the "Auto" term is wrong- you have to push a button or pull a lever- not much different than pushing on a thumb stud and having the spring take over. An auto is technology in use. It allows you to open the knife easier for one-handed work, then close it one handed and put it back in your pocket. A person carrying an auto on the street is no more of a threat to society than somone who owns a computer- and "Could" send out a virus or harass someone. Just because you have it... doesn't mean it will be used criminally.


"The one who dies with the most toys (guns, knives, flashlights, etc.) wins" Not sure who said that, but I am trying not to lose!

I couldn't have put it better myself TacGuy, this whole Auto thing is just an oxymoron within it's self.

The Government's should spend more time doing there real jobs like say SECURING the borders, NOT selling guns off to drug cartels (can we all say "Fast and Furious", wasn't that just a BRILLIANT idea) and less time working on laws that harass it's own citizenry with laws that are at heart none constitutional as best...!!

The Governments of a country should learn that they work for it citizens and not the other way around....!!!

so here in WA I have my concealed but it is a CPL, not a CWP so it does not apply to anything except pistols. So I could be legally carrying one of my pistols and technically get my knife taken away if they felt like doing so

If you already have the ok for a gun, why do you NEED an auto knife too when a folder will cause you no legal troubles at all? I'm not trying to piss anyone off but this thread reeks of insecurity. If you feel the need to absolutely HAVE to have one... don't snap it out every 5 min so EVERYBODY can see you have one. In public I actually place my palm over the spine before I press the button and lift it out manually (people think its a reg pocket knife). Limit you police contact too... WTF are you doing that you need a gun, a knife and have to worry about contact with law enforcement?
I think people are watching too much Red Dawn.
