It is an auto opener.
I believe this one is standard issue for the Coast Guard?
Almost every law enforcement agency and certainly the Canadian border considers any auto opener knife (some even include ones that can be opened with a flick of the wrist) to be a "weapon" and subject to limited carry. In most cases you need to be an active military or police personnel to have a knife like this on your person or in your car.
Not only is this knife an auto, the blade is over 3" in length, another restriction.
Typically it is not a problem to carry a knife like this if you are discrete about having it.
I do not like to have to worry about it so I thought I would pass it on since it is really a very nice knife and hard to come by if you are not part of the armed forces.
Oh, and it is probably not possible for me to care less about who beat the Bills.
