Academy is too far away to get a Pool Cue case for my Rem 870 shotgun folder before my appointment, so I'll either need to take a Calico 9mm Carbine with the 100 round magazine or the SKS with a 50 round mag ... SKS is cheaper/easier to replace in case of loss (Seton Medical group seems to "Mess up" oopsie medical tests sometimes, but I'm just going for a scan ... I hope) :lol:

I'll let others worry about if the shape of the blade makes their knife illegal or not and let them carry an "illegal knife" only to places where they can also carry their concealed handgun legally.. ;-)

First time I have heard this, got a source?
The Statutes, in my layman's opinion say that, but it was not the intent of the legislature and you probably would be arrested and possibly convicted by a judge who doesn't care what the law is ...

This has been discussed a lot here and on pother forums, search for Sec. 46.15. NONAPPLICABILITY Knife or "46.15 b) (6)"

http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/D ... /PE.46.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Sec. 46.15. NONAPPLICABILITY.
b) Section 46.02 does not apply to a person who:
(6) is carrying a concealed handgun and a valid license issued under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, to carry a concealed handgun of the same category as the handgun the person is carrying;

=========================

As I said, I'll carry 3 semi-auto pistols, why would I need a knife with a 6" blade/butterfly knife/stilletto/dagger etc?
If the only way to carry an "illegal knife" is in places you can already carry a pistol, carry 2 or 3 pistols and a legal knife for orange peeling, whittling etc..

I carry a knife and other tools when I'm denied access to my pistols
That's when I can carry a long gun, unless "firearms" are prohibited, that's what crossbows knives and pepper spray are for
:evil2:

The WALKING cane stays with me everywhere, as does my several feet long keychain (short-chain fighting) https://www.google.com/search?q=chain+f ... 09&bih=593" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
short-chain videos
https://www.google.com/search?q=chain+f ... 09&bih=593" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

so i see no reason to have an "illegal knife" even if the statute says I can, if that's what it says.

Re: Texas knife law applying to carrying knives.

seriously considering ordering a newer/better 5.5" bladed knife (mine has no pocket clip, doesn't stay as sharp as it should and the scabbard/knife sheath is worn out)


looking at one about the same size as what I carried i college/keep in car glove compartment now since the sheath wore out (I could add a pocket clip I suppose, but I want a new one)
looking at:

http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/D ... /PE.46.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
6) "Illegal knife" means a:

(A) knife with a blade over five and one-half inches;

(B) hand instrument designed to cut or stab another by being thrown;
(C) dagger, including but not limited to a dirk, stiletto, and poniard;
(D) bowie knife;
(E) sword; or
(F) spear.
I prefer the folding pocket clip type, but I suppose I could belt carry a fixed blade one of similar size into the 30.06 posted hospital along with my PepperBlaster on a belt holster
