So, nobody under 18 can carry any knife, except under pretty much the same rules as firearms? Farm boys can't carry a pocket knife? Individuals who join the military when they are 17 can't carry a knife, (I joined 8 days after I turned 17). Or, does this only apply to those knives 5 1/2 inches or longer? I really don't understand these rules, probably just me. This appears to be another law that will do nothing except create law breakers, which also helps in creating contempt for the law. Go to rural areas, especially those in areas that are very rural and these rules are not even thought about, much less adhered to. Seems like we have problems in large urban areas and we want everyone to fall to the lowest common denominator, much like our present education system. Don't stop the criminal that is causing all of these issues, instead make more laws or make them more obtuse to the average person. Don't get me wrong, I really like it when we loosen the previous laws, especially those that were written due to previous criminal behavior, such as in the middle 1800s in Texas. When they should have just been let alone to begin with. I will get off of my high horse. God Bless Texas.
