Knife Owners’ Protection Act of 2024

This bill establishes uniform rules for interstate knife transportation across all states. It allows lawful knife owners to move knives between locations where they may legally possess them, requiring knives to be stored in locked containers in vehicles or air travel (except for emergency knives in vehicles). The law explicitly prohibits state law enforcement from detaining individuals complying with these rules and shifts the burden of proof to states in criminal cases. It directly affects knife owners traveling between states and overrides conflicting state laws regarding knife transportation.
