HB1935 passed yesterday eliminating all "illegal knife" wording from the books. Come September 1st no more arbitrary 5.5 inch law and no more double edge law.

Sooooo, I'm legal now? I didn't even know there was a law against such things. Apparently the cops who have frisked me didn't know either.
|
|
So we can now legally carry a bowie knife or an double edge dagger after Sept. 1st?
|
|
Did they remove the amendment that restricted blades over 5.5 inches?
|
|
Be on the look out, there will be a BYOB, bring your own bowie, rally at the Alamo being planned for Sept 1st.

I am glad that this passed. It is good to be able to carry weapons legally.
That said, I highly doubt that this will impact anything. I still haven't seen two people open carrying handguns and that became legal two years ago. |

It's about time!
I spent a night in jail a decade ago because a trooper thought my 4.5" bladed knife was over the legal limit |

From the way I am reading the new amendments, they scratched out the illegal part and put the same restrictions on a >5.5" knife as a concealed handgun has without the licensing. Basically you can carry anywhere but where LTC's are prohibited. RIGHT??

|
But they are going to make bestiality illegal. The price of goats is going to crash.

Ahh yes Texas, regarded as the epitome of freedom yet you need permission from the state to carry a pistol.

He was in the right and the charge was dropped. I think he had a fair case for false arrest. The inability of any cop in particular to read/understand the law does not grant him probable cause to believe a crime is being or has been committed. View Quote |

So location restricted just means places with 30.06/30.07 or 51% signs, or places like schools?

I see Texas envy has reared it's ugly head again. It's fun pointing out the hypocrites.

I missed what happened to him and must have missed where that is written in the law. Can you show me? View Quote It doesn't specify one or the other. Carrying an "illegal knife" was just as lawful as carrying a concealed handgun under the same law that carved out the chl exemption. Cop arrested him anyways. My internet is shite right now so I won't bother to look up and copy/paste the relevant statutes. This was covered ad nauseum back when it happened, anyways. |

I have seen it a few times. But what "open carry" really means is that concealed carriers need never worry about printing or anything else. So long as the weapon is in a hosted it is legal. View Quote |

Nice, but I really couldn't give one fuck about that. I wonder how that vehicle inspection bill is doing that is what is an annoying pain in the ass.

For me, the most obvious benefit is if I'm out in the country hunting or carrying an openly holstered pistol for defense from predators, and I have to run into town, I don't have to pull the pistol out and leave it under the seat. It's much safer in my holster. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
