California arguably has better knife laws than Texas. No blade length limit on folding knives and <2" switchblades are legal for carry.dontshakepandas wrote:I would expect this from California, but not Texas.
When I lived there, I would have gladly traded California's knife laws for Texas's gun laws. I carry a Kershaw Tanto Blur because the mechanism is convenient, safe, and easy, and it has a strong blade which appears to keep its edge well. If it becomes illegal, I'll still carry a similar knife, just without the Kershaw opening mechanism. Like others, I carry a knife as a tool. I've done so ever since I was a young boy. My knives have never gone off accidentally and cut someone innocent.CleverNickname wrote:California arguably has better knife laws than Texas.

Not too fast; it has to pass in the Senate. Surely it will.AEA wrote:Cool, I think I'll buy one now.....
Yeppers. That's why it was a "minor" victory. But the House vote was encouraging: 149 yea, 0 nay, 1 present but not voting (the Speaker). The bill was received into the Senate yesterday. This one will be a "nice to have," but my fingers are really crossed for the parking lot and campus carry bills...Charles L. Cotton wrote:Not too fast; it has to pass in the Senate.

IIRC, the deadlines are not hard and fast, once a bill has passed one body of the legislature. Since this has passed the House, it is not subject to the deadlines of this week.T3hK1w1 wrote:How likely is it that the Senate will get to this bill before time runs out?

Since DPS is taking it's time with my renewal, I had to get something. (Well, that's the story I gave to the wife...

Even the city (silly) council stated they would not enforce it against a businessman in business attire (suit). Soon after they passed this, a gang person shot someone with a Colt Dragoon replica, which was legal to carry in SA because it was a black powder weapon...
