Knife Rights’ TX Knife Law Reform Bill Passed by House – Now to Senate
U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Knife Rights’ bipartisan Texas Knife Law Reform Bill, HB 956, was passed by the Texas House of Representatives today by a vote of 142 to 2. It now moves to the Senate for their consideration. Thanks to all who used Knife Rights’ Legislative Action Center to email their Representatives to support this bill.
HB 956 would remove from statute a number of places where Location-Restricted Knives (having blades over 5 1/2 inches) are banned, including restaurants and bars that derive 51% of their income from sale or service of alcoholic beverages, amusement parks and places of religious worship.
Knife Rights would like to express our sincere appreciation to our bipartisan HB 956 sponsors, Representatives Harold Dutton and John Frullo. They have been steadfast in their support for our efforts to roll back Texas knife restrictions since 2013.
Background:
In 2013 Knife Rights’ repeal of Texas’ switchblade ban was enacted. In 2015 Knife Rights’ signature Knife Law Preemption was enacted, nullifying all local knife ordinances more restrictive than Texas state law, including two of the “10 Worst Anti-Knife Cities in America” at the time, San Antonio and Corpus Christi. In 2017 our bill removed all of the “illegal knives” in Texas law, finally allowing Texans the right to carry a Bowie knife, dagger and others in public. In 2019 the ban on carry of clubs (including tomahawks) and possession of knuckles (including trench knives and the like) was repealed.
Unfortunately, during the 2017 legislative process, as a result of a tragic University of Texas stabbing just blocks from the Capitol, a minor amendment was added to stipulate that knives with blades over 5 1/2 inches are now defined as “location-restricted knives.” These knives may be carried throughout the state except in a narrow list of places such as schools, colleges, correctional facilities, amusement parks, houses of worship, and bars that derive more than 51% of their income from alcohol sales, as well as some other locations. Minors are also restricted as to when they can carry these knives. CLICK HERE for a complete listing of the current bans for Location-Restricted Knives.
