Thread: Texas repeals ban on ‘illegal knives' so get ready to carry a sword

HB 1935 known as ‘Texas Knife Law Reform Bill' signed by governor on June 15

SAN ANTONIO - Until this summer it was illegal in Texas to carry a weapon named for one of the prominent heroes in the Texas Revolution.

But on Sept. 1, that will change, as House Bill 1935 — known as the “Texas Knife Law Reform Bill” — goes into effect.

Signed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on June 15, HB 1935 repeals the ban on daggers, including dirks, stilettos and poniards, swords, spears and, yes, Bowie knives.

With the passing of this bill, these knives may be carried anywhere in Texas except in places such as schools, colleges, correctional facilities, houses of worship and bars. Minors are also restricted from carrying these knives.

Bill comes on heels of fatal stabbing at UT campus

The signing of the bill comes just a month and a half after one person was killed and three others were injured during a May 1 stabbing on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. Police arrested a 21-year-old student, identified as Kendrex J. White, who was armed with a hunting knife.

White, 21, told the media he carried a knife on campus for protection and because his friends were carrying guns on campus, which is permissible under a new state law allowing concealed handguns on college campuses.

That's what Texas / the U.S. needs, more weapons.

Because the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a knife.

No wait that's wrong, the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a knife is a good guy with a gun?

A gun and a knife?

Fuck it, whatever, more weapons!

So why are you allowed to carry a concealed firearm on a Texas campus, but not a knife? It does rather seem that under that exaggerated bluster & bravado, big steaks & rampant obesity, Texans are actually a load of frightened pussies. Time to put another gun on the back of the F100, bubba.

Cuz there is no NKA (national knife association).

That's not a knife, this is a knife.

Knife-gun!

^ Now that would have them flummoxed.

Billybob- "I'mm gonna arrest that hombre for carrying an illegal knife"
Sgt bubba- "But a man has gotta God given right to carry a gun. It says so on the goddamn Statue of Liberty"

^That's not a knife, this is a knife... err knife-gun!

He was right. Ford made the F100 before it made the F150. Bro

Sorry bsnub but I gotta side with Slick on this one.

I just have a feeling that redneck-type stuff is his field of expertise. ( )

Well, sarcastic or not you'd be correct.

It was a joke, Billy-Bob-Bubba-Ray. Indicated by the... Oh, you know the drill.

No shit, I said "sarcastic or not" you thick mofo.

Oh gawd...



If I have to explain how I'm taking the piss out of you then it takes all the sport out of it, Billy-Bob-Bubba-Ray.

.....or you could just stfu & beat it instead of derailing my wonderful, riveting thread with your last-word horseshit.

You just really don't get the nature and purpose of forums do you.

Also, I come from a democratic country where you're not only allowed to express an opinion but actively encouraged to. Why do you hate freedom, Boris-Billy-Bob-Bubba-Ray.

Fix bayonets.

You mean your girlfriend?

It's probably aimed at the type of groups that carry knives not guns.
