Are Automatic Knives Legal In Minnesota?
In Minnesota, it is not legal to possess an automatic knife. Switchblades are the only knives explicitly illegal to possess in Minnesota.
It is crucial to understand what a switchblade knife is in the first place to know if what you have is unlawful.
Switchblade knives have a blade that opens automatically-by hand pressure applied to a button or other device.
Are Spring Assisted Knives Legal In Minnesota?
A spring-assisted knife, otherwise known as a spring-loaded knife, is a folding knife that has been tailored with an internal spring mechanism to open the blade.
It is quicker and simpler to open than a manual folding pocket knife, but it is not automatic and, therefore, legal in Minnesota. Spring-assisted knives are legal in most places.
Are OTF Knives Legal In Minnesota?
An OTF knife means “out of the front.” OTFs are automatic knives with blades sheathed within the handle.
They differ from switchblades and spring-assisted knives in one significant way: the blade comes out of the top.
OTFs are considered switchblades because the blade deploys automatically, which is illegal in Minnesota.
Penalties For Illegal Possession
While most knives are legal in Minnesota, you may face significant consequences if caught with a switchblade.
The penalties for illegal knife possession can vary based on the law you violated, but in most cases, possessing a dangerous weapon will result in misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor charges.
A misdemeanor conviction is punishable by up to 90 days in jail and up to a $1,000 fine.
The offense becomes a gross misdemeanor if you illegally possess a switchblade in a public housing zone, school zone, or public park.
A gross misdemeanor conviction is punishable by up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $3,000.
