          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Knife Owners’ Protection Act of 2025&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill permits an individual to transport a knife between two places (e.g., states) where knife possession, carry, or transport is legal. The knife must be transported in&amp;nbsp;compliance with the bill's&amp;nbsp;accessibility and secure storage requirements, unless it is an emergency knife or tool designed to cut seat belts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An individual who is transporting a knife in compliance with this bill may not be arrested or detained for a knife violation unless there is probable cause to believe the individual failed to comply with the accessibility or&amp;nbsp;secure storage requirements. An individual may assert compliance with this bill as a claim or defense in any civil or criminal proceeding.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
