Bowie knives are banned in a lot of the South because of the Dueling Trees in New Orleans and the knife fighting that came from there and traveled up the River.

In both Mississippi and Alabama if the knife is named Bowie it is illegal to carry. No descriptions just call it a Bowie and it's illegal.

Reading the TX law now list it and daggers. There used to be a description but not anymore.
