Like all Connecticut laws dealing with self defense..... this one is unclear.
I've been in South Dakota on business since April 24th. I picked up a great little knife here (Smith & Wesson SWMP1B).
I'll be returning to liberal land in a week or so and need to know if this spring assisted opening knife is legal.
It does not meet federal requirements to be classified as a switchblade since the blade is not under constant tension by the spring. The blade needs to be manually opened about a quarter of an inch before the spring kicks in.
