Some Marine Reserve Questions?

So for a while now I have been looking at joining the Marines. I took the ASVAB a little while ago and got an 80 with line scores 120+. I love the work I do and with the Marines filling up for the year my recruiter brought up the Reserves. Up until now I really did not look at it but it is looking pretty good to me right now.
The reservists train once a month and two weeks out of the summer I believe. When on training, what to they do? Is is PT/ MOS training?
Do reservists still retain the “active duty” status meaning? For example, automatic knives can only be sold to “active duty” and I believe Handguns can be purchased under 21 with “active Duty” ID. Even though the Reservists are not “active duty,” do these examples still apply?
What do you feel about Reserve vs Active duty? For some reason I feel the reserves are not as ‘prestigious’ as active duty….Let me know!

switch blade knives are illegal in some places

The concept of these spring loaded blades have been around for many years. With examples of them appearing on flintlock pistols and on coach guns as early as 1700s. Then later in 1790s being made a more offered tool. Many of the early examples switchblades are either English, of French.

The blade that opens from the side is much like other pocket knives. You push the button and the blade swings out the side like any other knife. The out-the-front or the OTF switchblade, pops out the front as the name suggest. Now there are two different types of OTF blades a single and double action. The single action is when you push the button and the blade pops out and then you have to manually push the blade back in. The double action is the same this the different of that to put the blade back in you just push the button again. These knives have been at the center of controversy for years, because of the popularity with criminals. because of the quick opening systems of these knives people that might brake the law like them.

Right after the civil war in America knife production was industrialized. That is when the first American switchblade was made. It is called the Korn Patent knife. These blades really took off in the 1890s and where even soled to lady’s to put in there sewing kits. Then Italian makers got in to the switchblade game and that is where we get the knives called Stilettos.

switchblades started to get its bad name when street gangs started using them. People started to think that if they put a ban on them that it would stop gang violence. The US congress chose to make these knives illegal. So in the 1960s switchblades that where made in America where only being soled to the military. Later knife makers found away around these laws by selling switchblades in build it your self kits. Now though this loophole is closed in many states.

these knives are legal in some country’s but very illegal in others. Although many country’s banned them and many more have very strict laws, you can carry them in some country’s. In the United States you can not carry them on federal lands, Indian reservations, military bases, or Washington DC. The Act that limits switchblades also limits Ballistic knives. But other then that the federal government leaves the rest of the decision making to the individual states.

In many states the are out right illegal, and in some they are perfectly legal. Then there are a few that they are legal but with some guide lines. In Missouri, Montana, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas they are illegal, but exceptions are made for antiques and collectors. In Virginia you can own one but you can’t sell one. In Rhode Island you can own one but it can’t have a dagger, dirk, or stiletto blade. In Ohio you can have one but you have to buy it though a online retailer. In New York you and have one but only if you have a hunting or fishing license. So of these laws are pretty out there but to each there own.
