The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
While Knife Rights' Knife Check worked great at Donald Trump's NRA Annual Meeting appearance, we can't follow all the candidates around the nation doing knife checks. If your try to enter a presidential or vice-presidential rally with a knife (or almost anything metal except for car keys), it will be confiscated or you will be turned away!
At many of these rallies, hundreds of attendees are losing their knives. Nationwide, thousands of knives have been confiscated! In most instances, once confiscated you'll not be given the opportunity to reclaim your knife. Leave your knife at home or in your car.
We were reminded of this by an article about 200 knives confiscated at a rally in Prescott Vall.... In this case, kudos go to the Prescott Valley Police Department who are allowing folks to claim their knives. Again, in most cases, once your knife is confiscated, it is gone for good!

Thank you for the heads up!
And nobody's upset by this?
It is amazing DLKG that most folks have become accustom to the knife being looked at as a weapon. One of the things I appreciate about Knife Rights is that they are actively working to bring back it's status as a tool. This should be the goal of all knife collectors and users. We have lost an entire generation to the thought that a knife is scary, we need the next one to have respect for the tool and know it's value as such. It starts with removing the stigma through laws and education. With all that being said, YES it upsets me. At this stage in the war you must pick your battles. This would be a short term battle, unable to win during this time of rally's and town halls. The resources that it would take are better placed elsewhere (for now).
