RLMoeller:
The intent of this bill was to address some concerns from a NE Supreme Court ruling last year.

The new language is "and which, in the manner it is used or intended to be used, is capable of producing death or serious bodily injury".  It brings intent back into the equation.  So now I am no longer in violation of the concealed weapons law in Nebraska when take have a steak knife in my lunch box or a filet knife in my tackle box.

Sadly, I think this is the only thing it did.  This is how you knife law.

Starting this month, previously banned blades like dirks, daggers, stilettos and switchblades are now legal for carry in Kansas, thanks to the Legislature's approval of House Bill 2033, which Gov. Sam Brownback signed in April. The Legislature also wiped out a state law restricting blade length to 4 inches.

HB 2033 also prohibits local governments from enforcing any type of knife ordinance, making Kansas one of the most blade-friendly states in the union.

Mntnman:
It's lost on about everyone that knives are "arms". The 2A should extend them the same protections from government as other arms are supposed to have.

StuartJ:
So in Kansas I could walk down the street with my hand-and-half sword. Called that because you could theoretically use one hand but its better controlled with two, like most handguns.
