I get the impression that judges pretty much think their word is law inside their courtrooms, so unless if a judge tells court bailiff "no knives" I suspect getting any restriction on knives in courthouses is going to be very difficult regardless of HB 905. Wouldn't hurt my feelings to be proven wrong on this, but not holding my breath.CJD wrote:It adds state preemption of knife laws. Similar to the preemption for gun laws, it means that local governments cannot create knife laws that are more strict than the state. Since, at the state level, it is not illegal to carry a knife in a court, it is also not legal for local governments to prohibit knives in courts.C-dub wrote:Ashamedly, I'm ignorant of this new law. What about it makes it illegal for a courthouse to ban otherwise legal knives inside the courthouse?
*IANAL and this is my interpretation of HB905.
