CBrann Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I am interested in selling knives/ sharp item in in Connecticut, and have had no luck finding any info on this, and would like some guide line or some places to look. Not looking for free legal advice!! Also is there any federal law that is important? for shipping purposes whatever. is there any way to verify age on -bay or other auction sites? sorry if this is in the wrong place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Try here KNIFE LAWS of the 50 STATES I check here to see if an order complies before I make them to ship, the client may still want the blade, but I know that, they know the legal issues with it. In general most places accept a credit card as proof of age. But I am not a lawyer, that's my sisters job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin (the professor) Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hello, I make knives as a hobby, and people have started trying to buy from me. I am also a prof of Psy and Law, so I know the legal system. I searched, and consulted local and state law enforcement, and the results are below: Kevin, I hope this helps. As far as having it the car as long as you keep it in the trunk and dont have it hanging out the window i dont think you would have a problem transporting it for sale.
