I've never been a big fan of open carrying guns. I'm not opposed to the legality of it, I just think you give up a certain advantage by letting people know what you've got. But, a Randall Bowie or a Samurai sword? I'm all for sporting that mug out in the open. I'd love to see this catch on everywhere. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...arry-sword-law-takes-effect-friday/619064001/ While we're at it, bring back sword dueling. You know, sometimes a lady's honor just needs defending....
Delaware law allowed swords back in the early 90's -- their law limited "knife" blade length, but didn't say anything about any other cutting implement. bunch of us dressed up for the Halloween bar crawl wearing swords one year -- had a blast.
You want to hit the 7-11 for brewskis with a hand n a half on your back? I'm down. The idea is now you don't have to guess who is armed. You can be in the bank ( grocery store, mini mall ect ect) and there might be half a dozen guns in sight...and half a dozen more not. Put yourself in "tango mind state" , you want to try and jack the joint? Nah I didn't think so....
Good for Texas, but as usual, they get a lot of attention for allowing things that have been legal in other states for a long time. Not that I'm complaining, let them soak up the publicity and media headlines.
In high school some friends and I did the rounds of a few Halloween parties as the Three Musketeers. Most of our swords and daggers were real, save for the one friend who didn't do well with sharp objects.
