As someone who has taken the time to learn to throw knives pretty well, I can tell you that it takes a great deal of practice and is still not something you would want to rely on for self defense, even once you get pretty proficient. A lot of it comes down to judging distance to target, and a moving target, particularly moving toward you, would be very hard to hit reliably.

Are you sure about this? They sell them at Academy.

I believe they sell bowie knives as well, but until the September 1st law takes place, they are illegal to carry.

I didn't get to do everything I wanted to as a kid, and it was actually good for me.

I'm thinking they might want to look in a computer bag for food and whatnot so my Sub 2000 might not work. And the kids really like this particular theater.

Is it legal to possess throwing knives and / or throwing spikes in Texas if I am not carrying a handgun with my LTC?

Is it possible to learn to use these effectively for typical SD distances inside a theater (approx. 25 yards max)?

I could just rely on my EDC knife (not thowing), but the seats close to the entrances are not the best.

Any thought to contacting the new owners in an attempt to educate them as to why their posting of 30.06 is not a good idea?
