And the latest knife news from the CA Legislature seems to be ... no news.
Specifically, the Y2K session ended yesterday by constitutional deadline, in chaos with some high-stakes bills on health care and such getting killed in a last-minute computer crash, and no action of any kind on switchblades.
A keyword search on "switchblade" at www.leginfo.ca.gov yielded one bill on community colleges that included "switchblade" in an existing statute's unaltered list of "deadly weapons" restricted from college propery, and nothing else.
If there was any attempt to amend any bill to tinker with the wording of Section 653K of the CA Penal Code, as discussed at some length earlier this year here and in the Politics forum, it didn't make it out of committee. I guess the Legislature had better (or worse) things to do than give the authorities new verbiage to puzzle over when looking at a one-hand knife.
