Knife Rights’ Texas “Illegal Knife” Repeal Bill Passed Unanimously by Committee

Gilbert, AZ –-(Ammoland.com)- Knife Rights’ bipartisan Texas Knife Law Reform Bill, HB 1935, that would repeal the ban on all “illegal knives” in Texas statutes, has passed out of the House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee by a unanimous vote and is now headed to the Calendars Committee.

HB 790, the other knife law reform bill that only repeals the ban on daggers, also passed out of the Committee.

Thanks to everyone who called or emailed the Committee Members. Your calls and emails make a difference.

As soon as HB 1935 is scheduled for a floor vote, we’ll let you know to call or email your Representative.

Sponsored by Rep. John Frullo with co-sponsor Rep. Harold Dutton, HB 1935 would complete Knife Rights’ efforts to bring knife freedom to Texas by removing entirely the definition of “illegal knife” in Section 46.01(6) of the Penal Code.

This includes the prohibition on double edge blades, Bowie knives and the 5.5-inch carry limit.
