Mississippi Knife Law Preemption Bill Introduced; North Dakota Knife Law Reform Introduced

Knife Rights two-fer…

Mississippi:

Mississippi Senator Joseph “Mike” Seymour has introduced SB 2383, a bill that would enact Knife Rights’ signature Knife Law Preemption in the state.

Knife Law Preemption is a Knife Rights’ criminal justice reform effort that repeals and prevents local ordinances more restrictive than state law which only serve to confuse or entrap law-abiding citizens traveling within or through the state. Preemption ensures citizens can expect consistent enforcement of state knife laws everywhere within a state.

Knife Rights will let you know as soon as it is appropriate to contact your Mississippi lawmakers to support SB 2383.

I didn’t spend much time with Doug Ritter at SHOT, aside from Wednesday breakfast in the Media Room. Still good to see him.
