Re: Ask A Police Officer
In Texas, it's legal for anyone to carry a knife that is not considered "illegal." If it's under 5 and 1/2 inches, isn't a double sided, switch blade, etc. doesn't matter what you do for a living.
As far as knifes in hand to hand combat, we have the 21' rule. If the guy has a knife and is within 21' of you, he can get to you before you can shoot him. So that increases our awareness.
It's still a bad idea to bring a knife to a gunfight though...
