Our co-host is the Texas Safe School Center. Mark these dates, let's make this new partnership work. Don't Forget Edged Weapons in Schools. In this state, size matters. Under current law, a knife with a blade of four inches or more is considered a weapon.
Box cutters are legal and quite nasty to boot.
In a local murder trial, a box cutter was used to slash a nine year olds throat. The incident occurred in a private home but one of the accomplices was one of our high school students. My point is this. Edged weapons regardless of the length of the blade are dangerous and deadly. Earlier this year I went to the General Assembly with a proposal for new legislation to make possession of edged weapons of any length on school grounds illegal.
