Re: Gravity Knife
They are legal! Lucky you if you've got an old WWII one!
Re: Gravity Knife
There are no more "illegal knives."
There is a "location restricted knife" (LRK), which is a knife with a blade that is over 5.5" long.
You cannot legally carry a LRK in certain locations, and the list of locations is nearly identical to the list of locations where you cannot legally carry under a LTC.
You can read the text of the bill making these changes here: http://www.legis.state.tx.us/tlodocs/85 ... 01935F.HTM
The actual online statute affected, PC Chapter 46, has not been updated yet so you have to reference the bill text.

"location restricted knife"
Am I the only one to find that term a bit vague?
