...blueberry and peach...

...yup...if you're bringing it into the classroom, and keeping your personal stuff in it...it's become a designer purse...and you can't carry in your purse, either...neat little critter, but I'd hate to see one after Granny Smith didn't...with her Ford 250...

...I hadda do away with a young crepe myrtle after the freeze/ice storm last year...got two good sticks outa it...free...not fancy but light and tough...dries well ...my bark's not cracking at all...3/4-7/8" and about 36"...

...now you don't KNOW just how badly I needed to say what I posted...so there...my stick's crepe myrtle and if he's runnin'...it ain't me!!!

...I'm with Ol Zeke...they find it much easier to legislate the object, and lay more laws on the law-abiding, than to punish those who misuse the object, and leave the rest of us alone...that's cowardly, but it doesn't disturb their voting chickens...and the votes come rolling down the chute as long as they don't do that...

...I read 46.15 (b) (6) as making a singular exception to 46.02

..." a person who is: carrying a handgun
and
(carrying) a valid license..."

...but then my Ainglish isn't modern...may even be outdated...so others may read it differently

TSA is supposed to X-ray canes, except White Collapsible canes is what I read somewhere.

...well, that makes me feel a little bit less ancient...but not much...

Where?

...as far as I can find...NOWHERE...a lot of cities had ordinances in La where you had to have a chit from a Dr. if you carried a cane...taught us that at the academy...we used it on the street to weed out the wheat from the chaff, so to speak, but NOWHERE can I find one today...and I spent hours looking in state and city ordinances...guess you've dragged me kicking and screaming into the 21st century...thanks for the correction...

...I found the balance on a 5 C size Maglite perfect...carried one when I was on an unarmed security post...carried a 4 down my belt many other times...they came out with a 6-cell or 7-cell AA light made in AA called the Brute in the early 90s...before I ordered one, they were out of production...heavy-walled aircraft aluminum...a flashlight will fly many places a cane won't...a lotta cane ordinances still around...

...reading a bit further:

Sec. 46.02. UNLAWFUL CARRYING WEAPONS. (a) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a handgun, illegal knife, or club if the person is not:

(1) on the person's own premises or premises under the person's control; or

(2) inside of or directly en route to a motor vehicle that is owned by the person or under the person's control.

...the OP would be fine in his home, on his property, at other "premises under his control", or in his vehicle or one he controls, or on the way to or from same...
...and if you had to use it for defense at any of those places...the letter of the law would protect you...

...I've heard of these arrests for a bat, club, or long knife in Tx within one's vehicle...but never known of one for a fact...nor seen any in written report...do they really happen??? what's the outcome???

...being ex-LEO, I am very pro-LEO...but also very pro-Citizen's Rights within the law...
