Is it legal to carry a bat while I ride my bike in San Antonio Texas?

Question

I live in San Antonio, Texas, not the most bike friendly city in the world. Motorists often honk at me for being in the road. I figure if I carry a bat they may not honk so much and they wouldn't come so close either. But is it legal?

Answer 1

Yes it is legal, until you start using it as a weapon.

Answer 2

What if you are riding to a baseball game?  It should be legal to carry it, but not to hit cars or people with it.

Answer 3

I don't know.  Bats can bite and sometimes carry dangerous diseases like rabies.  And it takes some skill to get your bike into their cages.

Answer 4

It is legal till you assault someone with it ,

Answer 5

It should be... You're just on your way to the batting cages, right...?

Answer 6

Probably, but in this day and age of the nanny state you never know.  

Answer 7

yes, its legal,plain and simple.
