Personally, I find it a shame that y'all Texans can't even wear the knife that Colonel Bowie had at the Alamo. . .though being able to easily get a permit for a concealed pistol helps to make up for that.
Yes, it boggles my mind. I can (and do) legally carry concealed handguns every day. But a simple hunting knife is illegal to carry for everyday purposes.
But this is getting into a subject that's verboten around here. What I really replied to say was that Mindrop, you probably won't get the answer you want from the campus police. They'll likely tell you "no" to everything. And be advised that in San Antonio, even a lock-blade knife (like a manual folding pocketknife that locks open) is illegal. I know people who have had them confiscated by the cops - it's a little-known but regularly-enforced law in the city. I'm told that it was passed many years ago to curb knife fights amongst some of the more unsavory elements that live here. But it affects us all. So make sure you do your research and be careful.
Glad to see another kiltie in San Antonio! I drive through Helotes every day on my commute (I live out near Bandera).
