2013 HB 1862 - Legalizing Switchblade Knives.

I just checked for HB approved by the Governor. This bill shows approved!

Anyone have advice or experience with a Benchmade Infidel?

Fantastic fighting knife, but as an EDC it would quite a compromise as the blade id designed for stabbing and not much else.

Looks nice.

Maybe I'll finally get a MicroTech Halo V like I've always wanted:

I know I'm going to end up with a Benchmade Infidel. I don't want to spend the money on it, but I know I will.

I've always wanted a Benchmade auto to carry. Now I can. Cool.

I'm not really into automatic knives but much like open carry, I am a law abiding citizen and should have the right.

Exactly! It's about choice. I look at auto knives as pretty much a novelty. With a good folder and some practice, honestly you can open them nearly as fast as a quick auto knife. It's kind of like revolver vs. semi. We can carry a deadly weapon (gun)...but an auto knife is illegal? That just doesn't make sense. If you can carry a gun, you should be able to carry a switchblade, butterfly knife, baton, knuckles, baseball bat with frickin nails in it. The government should not dictate what you can carry as far as I'm concerned.

I'm gonna carry one for a while just because I was stupidly forbidden for so long.

So is it effective immediately since the governor signed it or do we still have to wait till September?

September...

 

[kurt]

Also, did the bill pass limiting other jurisdictions (San Antonio) from passing more stringent rules than the state?

No, possession covers carry and is not restricted to collector's. If switchblades are stricken from penal code 46.05, then the carry of them would be lawful. Currently it is illegal to posses, which includes carry.

Where is a good place to look for good quality (but still affordable) switchblades?

Would that be legal? It's got two distinct edges making it an dagger or stiletto, which will still be illegal, right???
Don't think it will fit into Texas 46.01.

It's an Illegal knife and there are rules about carry of them ...... Unless you're carrying your CHL license and a gun of type you qualified with for example. ;-) Still I'd recommend knowing the fact they may take a ride.

Yes but you still have to be Military or LEO for them to ship them to you. Best thing to do is look at Dealer Locators on manufacturers websites.
