Yea, I was told all this by a LEO that teaches the CHL classes. I remarked that it didn't make a whole lotta sense and he was pretty defensive and claimed that I was questioning his knowledge of the law.

Needless to say, I decided to go elsewhere with my money for the class.

Don’t sweat that shotgunner, since becoming more involved in CCW here in MO, I’ve learned there is a huge ignorance of the law period, not just by citizens but also those who are supposed to enforce them. “Ignorance of the law is no excuse” always seems to be a reason to prosecute someone, but what about the person doing the prosecuting? Ahhh, the tangled webs we weave.

What an eloquent statement!

Right up there with:
Laws and sausages...you really don't want to know how either gets made.
 
In NC I can carry anything just as long as it isn't concealed. With my concealed carry permit I can only conceal a Handgun and nothing else. In NC you can conceal a blade just as long as it isn't over 4" or 4 1/2". I don't remember which so I keep in under 4".

Shotgunner is correct. It is part of the non applicability section in the weapons chapter. If you have a CHL and are carrying the type of weapon specified on your license (revolver or semiauto) then it is legal to carry a blade over 5.5". But not a switchblade.

Yea, now I remember, Mr. Buckles here mentioned it to me at one point prompting me to ask around.
 
I would love to just have the regular "ESEE" pattern knife in the the 5 length. Maybe in the future I guess. I hear you guys about carrying the 6 anyways, but legal is legal. Does anyone know about the concealed/unconcealed factor?

concealed and unconcealed means nothing in Texas when it comes to knives.
 
That's what I was afraid of. Oh well, I guess I just have to purchase ANOTHER knife. Damn that's terrible. What's a guy supposed to do? Thanx for the input and answers guys.

and to answer your question about a ESEE 5" 3/16th answer is yes....
The Laser Strike

Is the laser mounted in the handle or something? Also, what's that attachment on the front of the sheath? Is that a holder for the upcoming ESEE throwing dart? :p

If you look carefully, you can see the laser mounted along the spine in the handle, the bowdrill divot is the button.

The mount on the sheath is a kydex barreled .22 cal. survival pistol.
 
I live in TX. When I'm in the mood to EDC a fixed I carry my 5. Love it. Get yourself a good custom sheath for it and you'll have no issues.
 
What kind of knife law if that in the Lone Star State?!?! Gun racks are totally legal, anyone can get a CCW permit, hell you don't even need one to have a fully loaded weapon in your truck! Someone needs to write their Congressman and get this whole debacle worked out since I'm planning on moving to Texas in the next year, year and a half. That's so suprising! In California outside the big cities there aren't any size/length laws at all.

Yea, thats the deal. Qualify with a revolver and thats all you can carry.

Makes almost as much sense are the knife laws.:rolleyes:

I'll take Texas gun and knife laws over California's laws anyday :), even if our legislators are so stupid they outlaw Bowie knives in spite of history of the Alamo, AND they fail to define just what they consider a Bowie knife. No double-edged knives or dirks/daggers or throwing knives, but at least we don't have to worry about whether the fixed blade is hidden or not.
 
It's all pretty typical. These laws are formed via knee jerk reactions by folks who don't really understand the tool or the topic at hand.

Is an automatic knife quicker or more dangerous than an assisted opening knife?

Is a dagger more deadly than anything else?

Why a Bowie knife?

If I buy a Boker Pocket Bowie, is that illegal?

Isn't a Buck 110 blade shape the same as a classical Bowie design?
