I just wrote my state senator and state representative, asking them to introduce a bill moving switchblades from the "prohibited weapons" category to the "illegal knife" category. Currently switchblades can only be owned as a curio or an antique in Texas. Moving them into the "illegal knife" category would make them completely legal to own and would allow them to be carried in certain circumstances. I would like to see them legal to own and to carry, but one step at a time. Please write your state senator and state representative if you agree with this idea.
