the type that releases the blade forward at the press of a button. not the type that flips out like a conventional pocket knife. a relatively rare item I know but I thought it was worth a shot.

pretty sure the ones still in existence were grandfathered in and are alright to own. they are illegal now for sure. even in mexico.

any knife that comes out at the press of a button or switch, and that comes out in less than 1.5 seconds is illegal to posses. or so said the judge when I got a ticket a couple months ago for this.

^No.

The knife the OP wants is illegal though.
You can carry one, if you have a Concealed Carry Permit though.

^They generally have a safety, so unless you're an idiot, it shouldn't be a big problem. But most people who carry a switch blade probably are idiots, so you might have a point.
