In Texas law, the max length is 5.5". And that's open carried. There is no concealed carry weapon lic. only a concealed handgun.
So, what about carrying a blade longer than 5.5" concealed on your person and then you find yourself in a situation, in public, to use this longer blade in self defense. How does the law apply? It's in the open and longer than 5.5" so you are then carrying a illegal knife? This wouldn't apply in or on your property (the length law).
From a legal stand point it, then it makes sense to keep the blade length 5.5" or less no matter which situation you find yourself in when in public? Is there a way around this where one can legally have a longer blade on his person, concealed or otherwise, and use it in self defense in public?
