  Yep. That's the same batch of laws that legalized the Mossberg Shockwave... that is built in Texas, but for 2 more weeks is illegal.

  My Aunt still had her first husband's West Point Sword when she died in Oct. 2015. She willed it to my oldest cousin. She had two girls. I would do about (Now I said "about" anything )for that thing.

  In Texas, you also have the right to dress as a pirate and carry a sword. Parrot on the shoulder is optional.

  Concealed carry is for protection, open carry is for attention.

  Mine also has the metal scabbard but that's all I know about it. The only one I do know about is the one above it that was given to my dad by a Montagnard chief in Vietnam for helping his village. This one has a cool teakwood scabbard.

  I think it's a good idea, and goes along with open and concealed carry. People might learn to be more polite, if they survive the experience.

  I was JUST watching that cartoon 3 days ago when my 4 nieces (5 to 10) stayed with my wife and I overnight. I introduced them to old cartoons including Bugs, Porky Pig, Foghorn Leghorn, Yosemite Sam and other greats!!! They LOVED it!

  
  Man, those were classics. I loved cartoons back in the day. They just aren't the same anymore.

  Not that I am aware of. Never left the house without that Bowie strapped to my side when I had my Boa constrictor.
