Oh FFS! Now I have to weight Christmas presents for all, or an Infidel OTF for me
Now if the Hearing Protection passes and suppressors come off NFA... the family is going to just have to get used to Mr. Clause not coming around; that is unless they wanted a can for Christmas

I'm confused. Is all they did was change "illegal knife" to "location restricted knife"?
Does it also make it illegal to give a "location restricted knife" to someone under 18?

Good... what took so long? The last session they gave us open carry. There were knife bills to put on the table but due to the limitation on open sessions, they try to push the most important things through. Guns and knife bills on top of all the other things the government looks at, roads, schooling, the crazy let every wacko man in the bathroom with my little girls ...you know things like that.... It does take a while but they try to push as hard as they can from what we serfs can tell. Per the exclusion clause. Before open carry was signed in, there was an exemption TX penal code 46.15 Nonapplicability subsection (b).(6) states that section 46.02 (the section talking about illegal knives and clubs) is non applicable if a person is carrying (A) a license (B) a handgun either concealed or open carried. The verbiage here changed from when mattfrio had his run in, in that the words said STTE of "is licensed and carrying a concealed handgun of the type on the license". We used to have to qualify as either single action (SA) or double action (DA) which was listed on the license. They took out that requirement when we got open carry but looks like the Nonapplicability is still written in there.....that is what got him into trouble as the arresting officers didn't know all the nuances and exemptions and were just going by the ">5.5in" rule. And when he challenged them in it they basically said to let the judge sort it out... iirc this is what is being changed with the new law where they are striking the term illegal knife and you don't need the license as a workaround ... |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I really hate lawyer talk. Summary I found online that should help: So HB 1935 passed last night and everybody's all excited. But what exactly does it do? The original bill completely repealed all illegal knives. An amendment was added that says knives over 5.5" are location-restricted. Despite the amendment, I still believe this is the strongest legislation passed this session that supports the right to keep and bear arms. So let's celebrate a victory for Texas! Bottom line: Anyone can carry any knife anywhere as long as it is not over five and a half inches.* Most people can carry longer knives most places. Rules for knives over 5.5": - Don't carry them in prohibited places (schools, polling places, courthouses, airports past security, racetracks, places of execution, 51%, sporting events, correctional facilities, hospitals, nursing homes, mental hospitals, amusement parks, churches/synogogues/established places of worship). Penalty: class C misdemeanor except schools are 3rd-degree felony - Don't sell, rent, lease, loan, or give them (or offer to do any of those things) to anyone under 18 without parent's written permission (for selling) or effective consent (for anything besides selling). Penalty: Class A misdemeanor - If you're under 18, you may not carry them outside of your home, property, or a motor vehicle/watercraft owned by you and under your control (or directly enroute to the motor vehicle or watercraft), unless you're under a parent or legal guardian's direct supervision. Penalty: class C misdemeanor The bill will go into effect September 1st, 2017. *This is according to state law and does not repeal TSA or federal restrictions. |

Illegal for a minor to be in possession unless directly supervised by a parent or "legal" guardian.
It is less restrictive to take my niece to the range/hunting than for her to have a knife with a blade over 5.5" The law as amended is convoluted bullshit and expands the nanny state. |

Quoted:
You already could, if you had a chl/ltc and were also carrying a firearm. I posted the statutes 46.15.b.6 Nonapplicability to section 46.02 illegal knives and clubs. Plus I have a lawyerly letter that basically says under the black letter of the law I'm correct. Under the spirit of the law, it may be a bit grey and is inadvisable to be the test case (see mattfrio) and to depend on the quality and how current the officers training is. Furthermore, it recommended that if I were in a situation, to request a black letter reading/understanding of the law....i.e. what do the words say? ...it says if you have a license and are carrying the license and a pistol then it doesn't matter if you also are carrying a knife or not.....which kinda makes sense. The whole, "don't bring a knife to a hi. Fight" comes to mind. |
