I hadn't heard this. I'll have to stock up on them. I get asked for them frequently, most people don't know that they are illegal in Indiana.

I remember when automatic knives were legalized in Indiana, I'll bet I sold over 500 of them at the Howard County Fair that year! The fair was in July, right after it took effect.

None... they're worthless as anything but a distraction.


Well, I suppose you could "put your eye out with that thing."

Im not suggesting they are anything but dangerous toys...

I still want some.

Are they actually legal? I read it's a case of 'legal for the owner/operators of licensed weapons ranges' or something retarded like that.

I still want some. And a dartboard. And a napkin with 'license' written on it.

edit after five minutes of googling:

Senate voted 48-1 to authorize ax-throwing bars and similar businesses to acquire throwing stars and make them available to their customers to safely throw on the premises of the business.
It would have remained a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by up to 60 days in jail and/or a $500 fine, for a Hoosier to manufacture, possess or use a throwing star outside of a throwing star business.

Then the House just decided to remove special classification, now they're just plain knives under the law. Nice.

That law was at first, but then it got extensively "stealth" redone in the House. Like SB77 transformed into a completely new bill. I dunno how the Indiana Legislature critters work, but they seem to have gotten it right this time.

I don't know how they did it, just that they eventually did it.

Being INGO's former official mall ninja, I have always carried a full loadout of the invisible kind.

 

[Lpherr]

I have these in my truck. Nice to know I'll be legal soon.

I'm stuck on the idea of government employees making laws LESS stupid
just....how, since when does that happen?

Very effective!, here's one of my home videos when a bunch of dudes came over unannounced and had me cornered in the tool shed.

I will probably get some just to throw at a tree one time then put them away and forget about them.

Did you buy beer on Sunday... the first Sunday it was legal too? And then never again (too?)

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

I probably won’t buy any but I support those that will be able to.

 

[BigMoose]

I may wait until @Brian's Surplus gets some and buy some there.
Then probably just hang them on the wall.

I think this is one of the last banned things in that section of the law.

Ohh yes after this, only ballistic knives will be banned, that and handgun armor piercing ammo.

IC 35-47-5 Chapter 5. Prohibited Instruments of Violence is getting pretty empty.

I want the kind that draw liberal tears when they hit...

When did they become illegal?

I remember buying them in the late 80's from a shop in the Washington Square mall before it....well....turned into what it is now.

1985.

There was some sort of Ninja fad thing going on in the 80s..movies, comics, etc etc... and these started poping up.
So the legislature back then saw fit to ban these.

Is was one of those "Think of the children" deals..
