Crimson Trace LG-17 Lasergrips, Cocobolo

(Wilsonville, OR)—Gun owners have a love—and sometimes hate— relationship with wood. Wood grain and texture looks stunning to many, but in some products it is not as durable or reliable as other available materials, such as hard resin-based G10. Until just a decade or so back, nearly every firearm sold included some type of wood in the stock, forend and grips. For those who love wood, Crimson Trace offers nearly a dozen laser sight options with wood to upgrade the iconic 1911 pistol. Read more

AKTI Partners with West Virginia Citizen’s Defense League to Pass WV House Bill 4145

Cody, WY – The American Knife & Tool Institute (AKTI) Friday, in partnership with the West Virginia Citizen’s Defense League (WVCDL), applauded the passage of HB 4145. The legislation allows a law-abiding citizen of West Virginia, who is 21 years of age or older, to lawfully carry a knife, open or concealed, without needing to first obtain a government-issued permit.

AKTI is a non-profit 501(c)6 organization which represents all segments of the knife industry and knife users, promoting reasonable and responsible knife legislation and enforcement. We believe that law-abiding citizens should be able to carry their essential and valuable tools without the fear of arbitrary, inconsistent and ineffective governmental restrictions.

“We are extremely pleased to see HB 4145 pass the West Virginia Legislature,” said AKTI’s Executive Director, Jan Billeb. “We believe that HB 4145 will be beneficial to all citizens in the State of West Virginia. It allows for eligible persons to carry the knife of their choice. This positive legislation would ensure that law-abiding West Virginia citizens are not criminalized for possession and carry of a tool.”

AKTI worked closely with WVCDL, who was instrumental in the momentum behind the legislation. WVCDL is a non-partisan, non-profit, all-volunteer, grassroots organization of concerned West Virginians who support our individual right to keep and bear arms for defense of self, family, home and state, and for lawful hunting and recreational use.

“The West Virginia Citizens Defense League is proud to have authored HB 4145 and is extremely pleased with the legislatures decision to support the rights of West Virginians,”

said Art Thomm, WVCLD’s Vice President. “The bill now heads to the Governor’s desk for signature. The WVCDL urges the Governor to support West Virginians and sign the bill into law”
