Knife Rights’ Texas “Location-Restricted Knife” Reform Bill Passes Senate

Texas – -(AmmoLand.com)- After intense lobbying by Knife Rights Director of Legislative Affairs, Todd Rathner, working closely with sponsor Senator Bryan Hughes and our friends in Austin, the Texas Senate on Monday passed Knife Rights' “Location-Restricted Knife” Reform Bill, SB 2381, by a bipartisan vote of 19-12. The bill's co-author is Sen. Pat Fallon. The bill has been transmitted to the House where the House companion bill, HB 2342, sponsored by Rep. Harold Dutton, was reported favorably by a unanimous vote of the House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence last week.

These bills would remove from statute a number of places where Location-Restricted Knives (blades over 5 1/2 inches) are banned.
