Knife Owners’ Protection Act of 2025
This bill permits an individual to transport a knife between two places (e.g., states) where knife possession, carry, or transport is legal.

An individual who is transporting a knife in compliance with this bill may not be arrested or detained for a knife violation unless there is probable cause to believe the individual failed to comply with the accessibility or secure storage requirements. An individual may assert compliance with this bill as a claim or defense in any civil or criminal proceeding.
