Well, that sure puts a damper on my Good Times. The 2d edge is not very long, but after looking at it , it does have two edges.
Guess I' ll just stay with the Strider SMF like I have for several years now. Bummer.
Glad you saw that, was going to PM you later if you had not responded................
Been seeing a lot of illegal knives for sale lately. Walmart in Deer Park sells a Gerber push dagger with a cord designed to be worn around the neck. Wonder how many folks think it must be ok to carry that way if wally world sells it?
There are several exceptions that allow carry of "illegal" knives and they can be owned. You can travel with an "illegal" knife. Hunt, fish etc.
No problem purchasing an "illegal" knife, and having it at home, even carrying it in certain situations. Just purchase with the knowledge that it's not always lawful to carry it around on your person.
What's the consensus on the Benchmade Infidel?

You can buy it, great knife, but you can't carry it unless you understand and follow the exemptions, like hunting etc.What's the consensus on the Benchmade Infidel?
Sorry noob question.
Since this bill was passed but NOT preemption, does that mean local city law enforcement can still bust you for carrying a switchblade after sept.1 if the city laws still say its illegal? Im in houston. (Basically asking if city law still trumps state)
So, in essence, you could be going from doing something not illegal (legally carrying a switchblade) to doing something illegal by crossing a city or county line? Is there a place that lists the city and county restrictions somewhere?

That is entirely possible. And I am not aware of a resource for a list of knife laws in different towns. I bet there is, though.
class C misdemeanors are more of an annoyance than a problemthis sounds like there is going to be a ton of problems ahead.
City laws don't trump state laws, nor the other way around. There are laws of different jurisdictions and enforced in different courts.
Laws tell us what is not allowed, generally. Texas does not allow the carry of switchblades right now. As of Sept 1, that law goes away. However, the law does not say you CAN carry a switchblade, it just does not prohibit it after that. If a city has an ordinance banning the carry of a switchblade in that city, then it would be enforced in that city by the city court; a class C misdemeanor.
