Re: Bills legalizing knuckle possession?
If you are carrying your 9 handguns with your LTC in public, you could technically carry a sword. Battleaxes would probably fall under that category as well. But again, a lot of cops might now be knowledgeable on that information, so I personally would not try it.bblhd672 wrote:So I can carry 9 handguns...but no swords?

Re: Bills legalizing knuckle possession?
These issues may be important to others, but my thoughts are, I'm too old to get out and mix it up in a fist fight, I have no desire to learn to use a sword as a defensive weapon, and so the push to legalize these items, no matter how ridiculous the original intent for their prohibition, is not a major concern for me.
I agree that if you are legally able to carry a gun, outlawing these other things seems silly, but I am not going to push my representatives to waste a lot of time to remove the prohibitions.
If I have to use deadly force, I have trained and practiced with my handgun, and shotgun, I am working on my AR training, I have no desire to train with other implements of destruction. JMHO

The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

I have enough arguments with Mrs. Jusme over the cost of 9 mm, 12 gauge , and 223 , I'm not brave enough to add 155 howitzer ammo to the list. Plus she may have brass knuckles I don't know about.

Re: Bills legalizing knuckle possession?
Maybe somebody can explain that rationale behind wanting these to be legal to carry because I cannot think of a single instance where they would be beneficial to law abiding citizens. It seems to me that the use of these alone would constitute deadly force. I can see itnow, if they are legalized then they will be used in the thugs knockout "games". No thanks.......

Re: Bills legalizing knuckle possession?
I haven't seen any widespread interest in getting these things legalized and I do not believe it worth any political capital or energy to do so.

Re: Bills legalizing knuckle possession?
IMHO the threshold is whether there a compelling reason to infringe upon the ownership and carrying of these particular types of weapons? I can't think of a good enough reason for an infringement. That is the only rationale that is needed for allowing them.Salty1 wrote:Maybe somebody can explain that rationale behind wanting these to be legal to carry because I cannot think of a single instance where they would be beneficial to law abiding citizens.

Re: Bills legalizing knuckle possession?
How about in a gun free zone? I don't particularly have a use for brass knuckles but perhaps a baton or some other defensive device vs hiding under a desk.Salty1 wrote:Maybe somebody can explain that rationale behind wanting these to be legal to carry because I cannot think of a single instance where they would be beneficial to law abiding citizens.

Re: Bills legalizing knuckle possession?
Maybe LEOs could just read the law, and then enforce it as written. Not sure we need new laws to clarify what is written in a law already on the books.mojo84 wrote:I haven't seen any widespread interest in getting these things legalized and I do not believe it worth any political capital or energy to do so.
I carry as ASP daily while walking my dog (while carrying a handgun under my LTC).
Due to the nature of the area I live in we are not only a frequent dumping ground for unwanted pets, we back up to a fairly wild area of green belt. I much rather have the choice to wack a threatening stray dog with my ASP then to have to use my sidearm.
I am beside myself that someone had to spend $5,000 to not get charged.
We need "loser pays" in Texas.
