I was hearing news that they were trying. Still riding high on Kansas Constitutional carry (just updated my CCL, regardless - hoping for national reciprocity.
I travel from Ks down to El Paso and always leave my frog poker at home. It seems I am still outside the Texas law.
“Still illegal per Sec. 46.01(6)(C) are “dagger, including but not limited to dirk, stiletto and poniard.” There are no definitions for these knives in Texas law. Exercise caution as it is generally accepted that dagger includes any double-edged knife (and any double-edged switchblade would probably still be considered an illegal dagger).”
Some cops have $hitty days and I do my best to try to plan on not being on the receiving end of any authoritative legal explanations.
Still my fault. I should have just got the single edge blade. Double edged weapons are scary! The Bible uses them in comparison to the awesome power of the word of God.
The ban in 46.01(C) was voted to be repealed by unanimous votes in both houses in 2015. It was sent to the committee in charge of such things to be added to the list to be approved at the end of the session. The Democrat committee chair told members he would add it to the list.
He lied. He did not add it to the list, and so it remains on the books.
Another bill has been filed this year to repeal 46.01(C).
