Knife Owners’ Protection Act of 2024

The Knife Owners’ Protection Act of 2024 establishes rules for interstate knife transportation, directly affecting individuals moving knives between states. It requires knives transported by motor vehicle to be stored in a locked container (not accessible from the passenger area), in a locked container for air travel, or in a locked container for other transport methods. Emergency tools like seatbelt cutters with blunt tips may remain accessible in vehicles but must still be secured on planes. The bill prohibits arrests for compliant transport and allows individuals to use this law as a defense in legal cases, while clarifying it does not override existing state possession laws.
