I'm not much of a prolific poster, but I thought you guys might find this of interest. Don't make fun of my Maverick too hard... it's all I can afford at the moment. :(
Anyhow, background: I bought the gun used a while ago because the price was right, but it had a 24" barrel with an integral...
The knife I always have, without fail, is a Gerber EAB. Not pretty, not flashy, not expensive, definitely not a defensive knife, but for sheer utility, I just love it. It's nice and compact for a utility-knife blade carrier, and is it nice to be able to abuse the heck out of the blade without so...
Indeed, §1243 deals with possestion (etc.), but as far as the posession end of things go, I'm not worried about that. The feds have no say on what you can have here in Indiana. (If only they would apply the same logic to NFA items!) Correct me if I'm wrong, but territories, Indian lands, etc...
"This is a picture of a man who was at starbucks that day with his Glock and two cups of coffee and a scone." *Shows photo of M&P Shield* :facepalm:

I have seen knives that were kinda like that and had wondered what the purpose was. It seems like this would be rather hard on the back corner of your pocket in the long-term, though. My pockets get worn out enough from just the clips on my knives/lights. But it does make for a cool deployment.

As to the other exceptions, #2 & #3 don't apply to me as I am...
So, I've hunted around das interwebs for the last week or two, but can't seem to get a clear, well-documented answer to this question:
Does the Federal Switchblade Act apply to the seller, to the buyer, or to both in an interstate transaction? (For example, ordering online.)
The overwhelming...
I'm not sure... I just know that he received some court documentation a while back that, among other things, mentioned that he was prohibited from owning firearms due to the Brady Act. I'll talk to him about it next time I see him--maybe it's something like you mentioned and it was only active...
#1 for DUI (Sentence was minimal, but could have been up to 1 yr. locked up)
#3 Did use, doesn't anymore. Never arrested for it.
#4 I don't know if it applies, but spent a few days in a Bowen center.
#8 Had a restraining order from (now ex-) wife, I don't believe it is still in effect.
