A bill lifting a state ban on brass knuckles, plastic kitty keychains and other self-defense items is headed to Gov. Abbott’s desk.

House Bill 446 passed the lower chamber last month.

Wednesday, state senators made quick work of passing the measure too.

State Rep. Joe Moody authored the bill. The El Paso Democrat told The Dallas Morning News this is a step toward getting rid of  “antiquated laws regarding weapons.”

@The Ghost

Thanks,guess I am just out of touch.

Think I will stick with my bobbed hammer 3 inch 44 Special,or my combat commander in 45 ACP,though. Too old-fashioned to change.
