New Hampshire House Bill 2009 H.N. 1665 was signed into law today after cruising through both the house and the senate. The bill, sponsored by Representative Coffey (Merrimack 6), amended RSA 159:16, Carrying or Selling Weapons by removing the prohibition against carrying switchbaldes, stilletos, daggers or dirk-knives. The mere possession of these types of knives, even if carried for an otherwise law-abiding purpose, had previously been classified as a misdemeanor under New Hampshire criminal law. Black jacks, slung shot and brass knuckles ("metallic knuckles") remain banned under the revised law.
Have a safe night,
