Now Knife-Lovers Want Open Carry Rights, Too
[su_center_b]
Knife-lovers are envious of open carry gun-lovers.
According to State Rep. Harold Dutton (D), his pleas to liberalize knife laws in Texas have fallen upon deaf ears.
“If we’re going to set guns free, I think the first thing we could do is set knives free,” the Democrat from Houston explained. “If the purpose is public safety, clearly I’d rather defend myself against some criminal that has a knife than somebody that has a gun.”

Knife rights advocates did score a small victory this year when Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signed a bill prohibiting cities from placing additional restrictions on knives. Prior to Sept. 1 — when the bill went into effect — it was illegal to carry a pocketknife with a locking blade in San Antonio, and Corpus Christi banned knives with blades longer than three inches.
