Knife Rights' bill to repeal the ban on "illegal knives" in Texas, HB 3884, has been unanimously voted out of the House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee and was recommended to be placed on the Local and Consent Calendar for the full House to consider.
HB 3884 was originally drafted to simply remove "illegal knives" from Texas statute. The original draft created a concern that the "illegal knives" on the list could now be possessed by minors and on school grounds.
In order to address those concerns, HB 3884 was amended with substitute bill text (http://www.kniferights.org/HB03884_substitute.pdf). It still eliminates the outright ban on the possession and carry of "illegal knives" in Texas, while continuing to regulate their possession by minors and in certain sensitive and narrowly defined areas. In addition, the penalty for these remaining restrictions has been reduced to a Class C misdemeanor, reducing the likelihood that a conviction results in a loss of civil rights, except where it involves a school, which remains a third degree felony.
If you live work or travel in Texas, contact your Representative and ask them to "please vote in favor of HB 3884." Find your Representative at: http://www.house.state.tx.us/members/find-your-representative/
