So it is illegal for me to carry my kershaw speedsafe knife now? That is one of the most reduculous things I've ever heard. Assisted openers do not help people with criminal intent since they can just open the knife before the attack. By making this illegal it is just hurting those of us who may need the knife quickly in a defense situation, or even more likely, to cut things with one hand. I love my speedsafe knife, and since I spend most of my time on a college campus it is usually my only line of defense. Yes, hopefully soon I will be able to carry to class, but I still can't cut things with a 9mm.

How likely is it that someone would be charged with this? Is it most likely going to be a tack on charge for people being charged with another crime? Could using my knife or even just having it clipped to my pants get me in trouble? Do these bills have a good chance of passing or do I need to start shopping for a new knife?

Sorry for all of the questions, but I have a hard time understanding things that defy common sense. I would expect this from California, but not Texas.
