I carry a Kershaw 1940st assisted opening every day. Other than courthouse and airport, everywhere. I do not use pocket clips on folders. Texas doesn't make a difference between concealed and showing knives, and I don't like them showing. Although taking it out in a restaurant to cut a tougher than expected piece of meat is not unknown and hasn't gotten any notice. Nobody worries much about knives in your pocket here, other than courthouses and airports.
