I came across a post in another forum yesterday that said the District Attorney in Matagorda County considers the assisted opening knives like the Kershaw blur as a switchbalde. Do NOT know if he has tried to prosecute though.

I also learned that San Antonio has a city ordinance prohibiting the carring of a folding knife that locks open except in a few circumstances like travelling.

I will try to search down and include the links in a later post.
