I have an A.G. Russell fixed-blade knife. The blade is 3" long, not bowie-shaped or double-edged and the sheath (made of some synthetic) has a push-button release. It looks for all the world like a paring knife. And it does fit in all my pockets. So, I wonder if some LEO is going to find this knife "objectionable" if I pull it out of my pocket? I know, I know--it will all depend on which LEO, the situation, and the location. And although push-button knives are legal in Texas, I know that San Antonio has a local ordinance prohibiting carry of push-button knives and any knife with a blade over 3" in length. But is my fixed-blade knife with a blade no more than 3" illegal in SA? And I assume that other cities have their own laws concerning knives. This means that, in order to carry legally everywhere, one would have to know the local ordinances of every city in Texas. Ridiculous! Maybe we need to push our legislators to make the state laws apply everywhere.
