I read the TX penal code and thought I was in the clear, but a friend pointed out the ambiguousness of a "bowie knife." :cryin
Actually, a "Bowie Knife" has a typical accepted definition- "a long knife with a blade double-edged at the point." Where the statute doesn't give a specific definition, terms get their ordinary definition in the dictionary. This is a common law rule imposed by the U.S. Supreme Court in criminal law.
Bowie knives, etc, are now legal. There are no more restrictions, on knives, except in certain places, schools, etc.
