FWIW
Its not my business as to why anyone carries... but...
I participate in this thread out of some curiosity and a need to understand knife laws in TX. I do not carry any weapons, dont own any guns. I do however play compliance officer in my club to keep "guests" legal while they are riding with us. No one carries illegally while with us. No exceptions.

Everything is illegal in NJ.
Carrying a knife or gun will get you beat to a pulp, shot, tazed, strip searched by a German Shepard and then locked up without a trial. My advise; stay away from NJ plus unless you're looking for trouble there's no need to carry anything but your keys.

I've never cared for NJ before, and still don't. No offense. I have no need or desire to go there......

Yeah but you got a great Governor. Can't he fix that?

Over here you can carry a folding knife with a blade length of less than 3 inches for general use.

A locking knife is considered a fixed blade however. What use is a knife that doesn't lock??

I always carry a 3" lock knife clipped on my jeans pocket. Use it all the time. If a copper wants to be an **** I could be arrested for it though.

As for handguns. Our only option is this:



Almost funny when you consider your 2nd amendment came from our Bill of Rights

Typically those who do carry guns also carry a knife (or at least those I know). I don't carry a knife for self-defense, just utility. I'll reserve my opinion on carrying for the gun section of the forum.

I carry a folding SOG
As for concealed weapons carry? Texas honors other states permits as long as the other states allow the same for Texas residents

Blade length should not than longer than 3" tho I know many LEOs that pay no mind to that unless the person carrying the blade draws needless attention to the knife. But I do know that more than a few eyebrows would be raised if you carry a KaBar or Bowie knife.

It looks like you are in Texas...if that is the case the blade length cannot exceed 5 1/2 inches (not 3). So a 5 inch SOG Pentagon Elite II for example would be just fine....as would be a mini Kabar.

As for why so many people here carry guns? Heck I do it because I know it bothers people from NJ, Kalifornia and Canada. >

What I wonder is why so many of you feel you are immune to anyone ever attacking you with a weapon?
