Any plans for a knife preemption bill being introduced?

Already done from my understanding.

Now we need to get the state law right.

A Bowie knife is illegal; in Texas! It's an outrage.

Correct, the 84th Texas Legislature passed knife preemption (HB 905) in 2015.

That same session, Knife Rights almost passed a bill (HB 3884) to rewrite the state law on "illegal knives," but Senator Whitmire pulled the rug out from under them at the last minute. They're going to make another run at it during the 2017 Texas Legislative Session.

Did not realize this.
Thanks for the info

Yes, but this does not bar municipalities from banning knives in city-owned buildings.

Actually, it does.
