A double edged auto might still get you in trouble in TX

Edited to add 5.5 in is ok. Over that is the problem.

I mean really. I can carry a Glock 17 strong side, Glock 19 weak side, Glock 26 on my ankle but if my knife is 6 inches I go to jail?

Oh and all the while carrying my AR15

Well at least I can carry my Auto knife now. And my balisong.

I just saw on the news that it passed the Senate and was on its way to the house and the Gov.
said he would sign it if it passed the house.

Hmmmm just curious as to her credentials ? Gunsmith ? DGU experience ? IPSC Grandmaster ? Anti-revolver person ?
Some secret knowledge about you ? (grin)

My advice, be safe, have fun. Also, be quick to tape targets and stick around to help tear down. Alot of matches will have get togethers after. Go. Personally I just taped targets at the first match I went to. I also picked out the local hot shot that taught and took his course prior to my first liv...

I would guess that for those times where you didnt feel the need to report the incident you probably didnt have cause to use deadly force. For example a guy with murder in his eye approaches you with an impact weapon yelling he is going to kill you. There is enough distance and obstacles between you...

Just the fact that an LEO open carries should tell you that LEO's and non LEO's operate under different laws. From your example I would say a DA could make a case for failure to conceal. If verbal threats alone are not sufficient for use of deadly force then I dont see how just being approached coul...

Hotlead said in part, "Also consider this: We do not operate under any different laws than LEOs. There are many times that a LEO unholsters a weapon in response to a unarmed threat. Remember there is a difference between unholstering a weapon, pointing a weapon, and using the weapon." Oh m...

I for one cant change a shoot decision to a noshoot decision. A draw decision is a very grey area to me and would have to be discussed within a very tight context. I'm a bit confused from something my CHL instructor said in class. I understood him to say "never, never draw your weapon unless yo...

This is a really good post. The ball /dummy drill especially. You can also have someone mix in a snapcap in your mag and see what the sights do when you reach the snapcap. If you are "timing the gun" then a dive when you hit the snapcap might not actually be a problem. Some of the things t...

Then again perhaps, all your guest sees is you "cleaning" your loaded shot gun and he yells gun and makes a .9 draw from concealment and puts 2 in your head. You wont be interested in the arguments he has with a grand jury later. A guy taps on the back sliding glass window of your house an...

So are you in fear of your life because someone knocks on your door ? Or is the guy knocking on your door in fear of his life because you are racking a shotgun right before his eyes ? For me, if the threat is serious enough to show a gun, it is serious enough to shoot. If it is not serious enough to...

Does this help ? (c) An individual who has been convicted two times within the10-year period preceding the date on which the person applies for a license of an offense of the grade of Class B misdemeanor or greater that involves the use of alcohol or a controlled substance as a statutory element of ...

My notes say a tr100 can not be over 2 years old, allow 60 days for processing. Same for a chl100 ?

I was addressing the carrying an illegal knife or club not having it in your car. My discussion with the chl attorney predated the MPA.
