haha, I was only 30 years off. Thanks for the info, Jim. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ...I knew my parents had a hand in it somewhere.
So, 50's movies did for switchblades what Jaws (the movie) did for sharks in the 80's.

So, 50's movies did for switchblades what Jaws (the movie) did for sharks in the 80's. Exactly. And, in what can only be described as bizarre reaction to the times, the state of Texas banned Bowie knives of any length. This law probably dates back to the late 1800s though I haven't spent the time to verify the original date. Unfortunately the law still holds true today. These knee jerk inspired laws never leave the books because the 'knife lobby' for all intensive purposes does not exist and has no political power to overturn these nonsensical laws.

yep, and with a public totally assimilated to the current law and convinced that switchblades (and knives/guns in general) are bad, how do you convince someone who would never own one that it's ok for someone else to own/carry one?
It sounds like the 'it doesn't affect me so it must be ok' or the 'sacrifice for the good of the whole' syndrome

I think I'll just start carrying a fixed blade in plain view, which is totally lawful in Georgia, despite some people's reactions. What the hell, I stopped cutting my hair this year and starting riding the Harley again. With all the government bs going on, I just feel like being as free as I can while I can. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Yeah, I get crazy looks and reactions when I carry my .45 in the open, and TN issues carry permits (open or concealed).
Can they tax freedom?
