I was only instigating a discussion about what constitutes an illegal "club"??? I'm not sure I've ever seen a clear definition that describes an illegal "club"...

It's defined inÂ§ 46.01.

Â§ 46.01. DEFINITIONS. In this chapter:
(1) "Club" means an instrument that is specially
designed, made, or adapted for the purpose of inflicting serious
bodily injury or death by striking a person with the instrument, and
includes but is not limited to the following:
(A) blackjack;
(B) nightstick;
(C) mace;
(D) tomahawk.
Its one of my favorite pieces of Texas law. Its legal to carry around ashotgun, baseball bat, or tire iron but get caught with a tribal tomahowk such as what Flintknapper might craft and they can bust you.

Until Sept 1 and you are in your car.
