Return to “Texas Illegal Knife Bill unanimously passes out of committee.”

I'm just glad they are doing away with some of these ridiculous laws. They have never prevented anyone from being injured or killed by a knife, and were for the most part only selectively enforced, and arbitrarily prosecuted. I have no intentions of walking around with a saber, or katana, mainly because I carry enough around all the time. But any law that restricts a person's ability to bear arms, needs to be removed. JMHO
The previous law had the exception of having the illegal weapons/blades if you were directly in route to a motor vehicle or watercraft in your possession or under your control - so you would have been fine as long as you didn't go elsewhere after buying it.locke_n_load wrote:Makes you wonder "wasn't it illegal to buy a machete in a physical store before this bill because you would have had to take possession outside of your property?"Jusme wrote:I guess we can now do a machete Wally Walk!!!(after Sept 1)
