Where the hell do you live that you can legally carry around a sword? And not only under what circumstances do they grant you this privilege? Do you have to show the permit office that you're on a sacred quest to kill the 6-fingered man? Or do you have some sort of Highlander exemption? I mean I've heard of carrying a sidearm, and I thought that was ridiculous, but an actual sword permit. I think my brain just said "Fuck This!" and left the room!Panzer_God said:They're only useless if you don't have a weapon permit.

Christ $12000? What do you reckon it was made out of?Jimmyjames said:Definitely. I used to do Iaido (traditional Japanese swordsmanship), and you couldn't get into the class without a real sword of weapon quality. Mine was $1250, imported from a sword-maker in Japan. There were guys in that class that went NUTS with what they brought, tho. One guy had a sword that was $12,000. Thing was when you held it, you could DEFINITELY feel a difference.Dirty Apple said:Yeah, I'm no expert, but I was under the impression that battle quality swords were worth THOUSANDS (note the plural) of dollars. If it doesn't have that kind of pricetag it's basically melted down rebar poored into a mold. I wait to be corrected.
I have one. I actually sometimes walk around with my cane, hoping someone tries to mug me. So I can push a button have an awesome, ninja sword fight with them.Dirty Apple said:Where the hell do you live that you can legally carry around a sword?

God bless America! It's a normal carry permit which allows the carrying of WEAPONS and firearms. Swords are classified as weapons. Ta-Da!!Dirty Apple said:Where the hell do you live that you can legally carry around a sword? And not only under what circumstances do they grant you this privilege?

I live near San francisco, chinatown doesn't have swords. At least from what I've seenAssassin Xaero said:I'm going to San Fransisco at the end of the month on vacation and my mom said that we have to go to China Town, so I was thinking of buying a sword there... Anyone know how much I should save up to get a decent one?
