This bill would narrow Michigan’s ban on carrying certain knives and dangerous weapons outside your home, business, or land you possess. Instead of banning all daggers, dirks, stiletto knives, and similar weapons of any length, it would only ban carrying double-edged stabbing weapons and other dangerous weapons longer than 5 inches, with a clear exception for hunting and fishing knives. Fewer people carrying smaller knives would risk felony charges, but violations of the new rule would still be a felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison or a $2,500 fine.
