Following last session’s elimination of the “illegal knives” category, including Bowie knives and daggers, Texas once again jumps the gun on passing up smarter laws regulating guns in favor of expanding the limits of open carry for other weapons.
Beginning September 1, 2019 Texans will now be legally permitted to have brass knuckles and clubs, in addition to other self-defense keychains made with the intent to strike a person.
HB 446, signed by Gov. Greg Abbott, effectively removes brass knuckles from the prohibited weapons list set forth by the Texas Penal Code, and removes clubs from the unlawful to carry list.

Maybe he was listening to Texans.
Criminals don't obey the law anyway, so this only affects law abiding citizens. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
