I've been carrying one for years that works on a pivot, which is biased toward being closed but allows the knife to be opened with one hand. Not a switchblade or gravity in the traditional sense (or as defined by law) - but it could easily be considered illegal by a misinformed LEO/DA.

Correct.

TEX

Correct.

Thanks BillC

Strange, cause I thought the Campus Carry passed the Senate.

Yes, I see that it did and was sent to committee by the House.
Came out of the House committee on the 22nd favorably and is waiting to be voted on by the house:

What is the current status of the Legislature? When will they be finished (completely) and when will we see a "Final Status" of all of our Pro-Gun (and Knife) bills?

Final Status meaning did it pass or not and if it passed when will it become law.
