Illegal Knifes...stirring the pot.

The law states. "PC §46.02. UNLAWFUL CARRYING WEAPONS. (a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his person a handgun, illegal knife, or club."

OK I understand that. Then someone showed me this.

PC §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 Article 4413(29ee), Revised Statutes, to carry a concealed
handgun of the same category as the handgun the person is carrying;

Question? IF you are carry per b6, that is you have your gun, and license. Then 46.02 does not apply. That's what allows us to concealed carry, however, the law doesn't state that just the portion of the law (section) addressing handgun does not apply, it says 46.02. In pure reading of the law, if I'm carrying I could also have on my person an illegal knife (not Swichblade that's 46.05) or club or both!

Does anyone know of any case law? I couldn't give the person an answer.
