I always have just cause its good to have. Now I have two guys barking at me about how its absolutely illegal. I figure someone on here will know for sure.
I think the law is a bit "gray" in this area. If you're on your way to go fishing or hunting, it won't be an issue. Outside of that, it's likely an illegal weapon while off your property.
I too am interested in TxI's reading of this.

You know he is. Probably sitting at his computer in his whitey tighties shirtless with a bag of Cheetos laughing his ass off at all of us who are beneath him.

Basically, either in your vehicle or going directly to or from it from your own premises or premises under your control.
I wonder if you buy an "illegal" knife at a gun show if that gives you the right to take it to your vehicle. I suspect it would but I don't know if that's in the Penal Code.
But your vehicle is pretty much considered the same as your "domain," there's nothing that says said knife cannot be on your person as long as you're in it (much like your home).

Don't wear tighties. I wear boxer briefs. Never eat Cheetoes.
As to the question, as post number 11 shows, it is not illegal to have an illegal knife in your motor vehicle. If a Kbar is an illegal knife, then there ya go.

Got it now! Thanks
Texas cops generally don't want to harass the general public: They focus on "indicators" which is another term for correctly profiling likely offenders like speeders, drunk drivers, gang bangers, drug traffickers, and hoodlums.
You got tattoos, speakers set at 115 decibels, fancy rims on a beater blowing lots of smoke, a loud muffler and a K-Bar? Question answered.

Cool. I've just been a bit on edge about edged weapons (pun not intended) ever since Matefrio had that whole thing go down. I really have! It scared the piss out of me. I measured my pocketknife and everything, even though I already knew it wasn't six inches.
To me, it seems like I have been in the right according to that. Thanks for providing that-I will show it to the guys tmorrow.
