During Reconstruction, there was a lot of mob violence in Texas.

In an attempt to quell it, the Legislature made it an offense to carry a handgun, "illegal" knife, or club, except in some narrow circumstances. Those laws remain on the books today...
I'm curious, did the laws quell the mob violence?
