That's one way to kill your company.

Yup, that will not go well with the public. And I hope they fail because of it.

There is a Federal Law going back to the era where a switch blade was the weapon of choice for gang members that restricts shipping automatic knifes across state lines. There is a form for you to fill out swearing that you are a police officer, active military, or a dealer for the knife that will allow them to ship it to you.

I've never had good luck with opticsplanet, so no big deal to me - too many companies out there that will sell them.

Never owned a switchblade, but is there that much of a speed difference compared to the assist on blades now? Would seem more like a novelty to me.

I just got an order in from them last week for some odds and ends including a barrel nut for a free float hand guard. Guess I can unsubscribe to their emails...

An old school Italian switchblade ain't got shit on a modern OTF knife when it comes to speed and they are a pretty weak design. OTF knives have the same shipping restrictions across state lines.

"In this case, insufficient internal communication led to a misread message. We are not offering magazines with capacities greater than 10 rounds to the general public due to our location in Northbrook, Illinois, and local laws that limit our ability to sell these. Being an internet retailer serving fifty states can be complex at times, and frankly, our location in Illinois only adds to this complexity. We may not always like the law, but we need to follow it."
