At first I thought this was some kind of coaster related legislation
YoYowuzHere
I'm in Texas. Got plenty of sharp pointies to brandish soon.

Throwing daggers it is. Thanks Texas! You keep trying to beat Florida in crazy.

Better figure out the nearest holy ground.

There can be only one!

For the record I'm pretty sure no one in the south knows that there are such laws.

Knife to meet you, now have a knife night.

Conversely, I'm glad more and more glad I live in NZ instead of TX.

Texas had some of the dumbest knife laws. You could carry a gun, sure, but not a letter opener...
tarataqa
As a Texan, we already do this.
DontLookAtMyBioPls
Wheres that gif with the australian pulling out the big ass knife going "now this is a knife"

They really got a lot of mileage out of that Crocodile Dundee joke.

ladiesman524
We had knife restrictions? Oops.
bigbrother
I've always carried a folding knife on me. No one said anything.
Daveheart
Current law has a blade length limit of 5.5". It also basically limits you to folders (no spear points). 5.5" is a pretty damn big folder.
IAlwaysUpvoteBirdies
I was born and raised in the and I didn't know.
nonamejanie
I'm a girl from Mississippi. Even I have a knife. Hell they sell them to kids at shops. I also have a machete and a sword.
craz3d
Right. When I was in TX I didn't know about any restrictions
Megawildfyre
Usually the law enforcement don't even don't even care because it's so normal in Texas.
ModerateRectalContusion
This is also a knife.

Time to carry the Ka-Bar!

September 1st is when most laws go into effect in Texas.

Ericstraordinary
Weird. Why would a state that allows open and concealed-carry firearms be so strict on knives?
pallentx
They aren't anymore. I'm guessing that was the logic. Texas wasn't very restrictive to start with, now even less...

I've never seen this version of knifey spoony before.

Legislation passed removing restrictions on carrying knives. Now you will be able to legally walk around with a sword.
YewBank
In Kansas, you can have any manner of blade; boot blade or cane swords, anything. Constitutional Open or Conceal Carry on ANYTHING. Guns too
BritishGingerLefty
As in keeping it so ppl can see it? Or conceal carry?
HodorFirstOfHisName
I was hype when we got to carry switchblades. I need to find a good sword.
chrisdafish
Now I can finally live my dream of carrying a great sword like Guts

Texan cosplayers and larpers are getting more serious these days.
tooomanysteves
Who cares, since you all carry semi-automatics anyway.
nowthisusernameistaken
Oh, I thought we all had to use coosters.
nonamejanie
I had no idea you couldn't walk around with knives. I think I've broken lots of laws.
pallentx
Pocket knife was fine, just not a 6" Bowie knife or switchblade
Duder87
How about polearms, axes, and blunt weapons?
aleister94
Oh god it'll be the neckbeardpocolypse

Which sword should I use? I have a 47 Ronan sword, 1 handmade sword, 6 machetes and a few others

Sssoooo who wants to buy a sword?? http://ink361.com/app/users/ig-3531546146/warriors_path_patternweld/photos/1552381875452186297_3531546146

I was thinking more like a 36" rapier for proper street dueling.
postmodest
How soon can Texans start beheading infidels on Youtube?
HodorFirstOfHisName
I don't think it's legal to behead people even if they're infidels.

Blade, bible, guns, freedom, yep. The important stuff.

Blessed day! Frabjous day!
OhLurkOverThere
It's funny because things like this and concealed/open carry laws have been less strict in states other than Texas, but isn't a problem.

CmRock136
And I learned on Imgur that it's effective in a gun fight from 21 feet and less. Just be sure to carry a tape measure.

Legit question - why?
AZRAELSBLADE
Because fuck limits of lethal weapons! MURCA! TEXAS! Woot!
Pr0xycast
It's Texas

cattoebeans
It was odd that it was legal to walk down the street with an AR-15 over your shoulder but it was illegal to have a knife in your belt.
RoseyRose
But brass knuckles are still banned, and not 15 minutes away over the border into LA I can buy brass knuckles in an Exxon station.

Could it be due to the fact that everyone hunts here and that they want to carry their fancy hunting knives?

UFOLoche
Well, in my case, I'd love to be able to carry around a knife that my dad owned, it was one of his favorite things to collect.
suchamaroon
Exactly
nozerohero
Legit answer- you may find yourself in a non-life-threatening situation where you need it. Rural area type shit. Cutting ropes and brush.
nozerohero
As a side note, if people are indeed walking around with large cutlery in an area where it isn't needed, they're just tools.
pallentx
Or, in the city when an Amazon delivery suddenly appears.
nozerohero
Car keys work fine my friend.
pallentx
Oh, but not nearly as satisfying as pulling out your dueling rapier and slicing it open
qpx1
Yep. The right to bear arms doesn't just apply to firearms.
Splosions
Hell yeah! Gona order some Bear Arms off Amazon tonight
nonamejanie
Maces, clubs, crossbows, long bows, two hand sword, single hand sword, daggers, poisoned tipped bows and dagge... oh wait that's skyrim
qpx1
Unfortunately, I think much of that is still illegal to carry in Texas. Baby steps.
Meltemi
The problem with the right to bear arms is getting 'em off the bear.
surreality1
And keeping your own while you do it
DaveDominaish
Why do you think they legalized sword-carrying?
