I believe the knives they are referring to are daggers and spring blades (switchblades).
Switchblades are fun! Love the tiny buggers all the way up to the behemoths. My favorite are the mid size with lighter bowie type blades. Here's the bigger version, slow to open compared to smaller size but blade has so much momentum due to size. They all have different "personalities".
The only thing Texas has going for it is its still mostly conservative state but they in their conservative dumbarsery effed up their carry laws years ago. Their carry laws have been directly responsible for (at the time) the largest "mass shooting" casualty of the time (one of the victims purposely left their gun in the car due to the law). If Ore/Wa pass signage laws (and they will try) up here, virtually every business would be a legal GFZ.
Washington has had the signage option for a long time. Any privately owned premises can post a sign and prohibit firearm possession. They can ask you to leave and have you trespassed. Lots of big businesses do it, along with hospitals.
Its my understanding that Wa does not have a signage law. Trespassing someone for carrying a gun is an entirely different matter .
Texas is criminal trespass, same as WA...maybe a different classification of misdemeanor, but the same basic trespass.
If you could share Washingtons signage law I would be thankful.
Its covered under the general trespass statutes, not a no gun sign. Criminal trespass in the 2nd degree "(2) The premises were at the time open to members of the public and the actor complied with all lawful conditions imposed on access to or remaining in the premises;" - they post rules, "no guns" and you don't follow their rules, they can have you trespassed from the property.
