InterestedBystander Posted March 13, 2019 at 12:36 AM Share Posted March 13, 2019 at 12:36 AM No. They passed law to ok switchblades if you have a FOID...I think you are correct being 2017. Last year a bill was introduced to remove FOID requirement but it went nowhere. Also since there is no state preemption, local ordinances can restrict or ban. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/publicacts/fulltext.asp?Name=100-0082 (e) Exemptions. (2) The provision of paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of this Section prohibiting the sale, manufacture, purchase, possession, or carrying of any knife, commonly referred to as a switchblade knife, which has a blade that opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device in the handle of the knife, does not apply to a person who possesses a currently valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card previously issued in his or her name by the Department of State Police or to a person or an entity engaged in the business of selling or manufacturing switchblade knives.(Source: P.A. 99-29, eff. 7-10-15.) Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect uponbecoming law. Effective Date: 8/11/2017 Switchblade or knife does not even appear in the FCCL act.http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=3497 100 pages?

InterestedBystander Posted March 13, 2019 at 12:49 AM Share Posted March 13, 2019 at 12:49 AM As much as the Dems may want to repeal it (I'm still not sure they understood what they were voting on LOL), I dont think there has been any repeal bill even submitted.

The guy to me doesn’t even seem sure of a bill. I’m not sure he understands how laws work. But he’s saying it’s on the site and I’ve been searching the ISP site for a pdf file with new laws or a change in the previous law.

Glock23 Posted March 13, 2019 at 12:53 AM Share Posted March 13, 2019 at 12:53 AM Who ever is telling you switchblades are now illegal is wrong. If you have a FOID card, you can carry a switchblade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE KING Posted March 13, 2019 at 01:01 AM Share Posted March 13, 2019 at 01:01 AM It's under the UUW Statute. 720 ILCS 5/24-1 (e). (e) Exemptions.

Reading this with my small intellect it is still legal if you have a valid foid card. Or I’m just bad with reading comprehension.
