How can something be legal and illegal simultaneously?
Schrödinger's knife.

TXI,
Yes, quite screwy.
So with an LTC, I can legally carry an illegal knife, right?
If so, this is quite a conundrum. How can something be legal and illegal simultaneously?
With my LTC, am I legally allowed to carry a double edged blade over 5.5" or is there a limit even with the legal/illegal conundrum?
Why does one need to carry a knife, illegal or not, if you carry a gun? If it's that critical, you live or frequent the wrong places. IMHO!
If an attacker grabs your strong arm, it'd be ideal to have a blade handy on your weak side so you can stab the assailant and get distance between you two and then draw your firearm.Why does one need to carry a knife, illegal or not, if you carry a gun?

I know this is an older thread, but in 2017 Abbott signed a bill into law that changed up knife laws since this thread was last written in... I have one of those double sided OTF dagger style blades. Are they still illegal? it seems from what I've been reading, you can carry whatever the heck you want (including swords) but carrying knives is now "location restricted" like with a LTC. govt buildings hospitals schools etc. anyone know for sure? I'd like to be sure before I go waltzin down the street with my OTF in by pocket.
So there I am, out in the 'tween land of Texas (tween any kind of town), its about 0300 and trying to get home before dawn. I am honking hard in that Corvette, that big 427 with solid lifters, radical cam and some 12:1 slugs burning Shell 100 proof.Legal to purchase.
"Legal to carry" or not is up to the po-po when they see it.
If Officer Dontlikeyou doesn't like you that day you get to wear shiny bracelets.
If he thinks it's cool, you don't get to wear the shiny bracelets.
You may win in court later but it will cost mucho dinero to get there.
Me thinks why bother? Just carry a regular old folding single edge knife.
Double edge knives suck as tools anyway.
Don't go running around all drunk ninja like and the po-po will leave you alone.
I see people all the time wearing sheath knives.
