I wonder if this means that the Galveston Deputies have no right to disarm me of my folding pocket knife at the metal scanners at the courthouse.Tylerscott20 wrote: (6) "Location-restricted [Illegal] knife" means a[:

Everything highlighted in red no longer applies. So over 5.5 inches is illegal in some places, but all other knives otherwise under 5.5 are legal to carry even in a 51% location..

Re: Texas Illegal Knife Bill unanimously passes out of committee.
I think it's mostly about the right to keep and bear arms. A knife sword or dagger is one of the most basic of arms. I'm not too interested in using a knife for self-defence, but it kinda bugs me that I could be arrested for owning what I might consider to be a tool.
