SB 606, as introduced, De León. Deadly weapons: ballistic knives.
Existing law generally makes it a crime to manufacture, import, keep for sale, offer or expose for sale, give, lend, or possess any ballistic knife. Under existing law a ballistic knife is a nuisance. Existing law defines a ballistic knife as a device that propels a knifelike blade as a projectile by means of a coil spring, elastic material, or compressed gas.
