Massachusetts Judicial Supreme Court Rules Switchblade To Be “Protected Arms”

Last week, a Federal District Court Judge in California ruled that switchblades are not “protected arms” under the Second Amendment, but now the Massachusetts Judicial Supreme Court has ruled that they are protected. 

The case, Commonwealth v. Canjura, involves a man arrested for carrying a switchblade in Boston, Massachusetts. State law defines a switchblade as “a knife with a blade that is over 1.5 inches long and has an automatic spring release device that allows the blade to be released from the handle.” The punishment for carrying a switchblade can be up to five years in prison.
