    Carrying sword in new york?

    I went to manhattan yesterday in china town to buy some stuff at the BLT Supplies store and I seen some swords there that I wanted to buy but I wasn't quite sure if I could buy them and walk around the city with it. Why because I hear that this is against the law, is this true? Anyway i just ended up buying myself some feiyue shoes which i must say are pretty awesome.

    See if they'll give you a gift box with the swords. I got a nice 34" taiji broadsword and it came with an exquisite gift box.

    I don't know about NY, but in Chicago, you just need to keep them properly cased.

    Although in NY, I think only Japanese weapons are legal.
    Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

    Royal, no, don't forget, Chinese arts are banned in New York so Chinese weapons would be illegal as well.

    I think he just said that
    All right now, son, I want you to get a good night's rest. And remember, I could murder you while you sleep.
    Hey son, I bought you a puppy today after work. But then I killed it and ate it! Hahah, I´m just kidding. I would never buy you a puppy.

    there are uncountable numbers

    of ppl who walk around w/weapons in this city that don't get caught.

    and that's the trick. if the po-po sees you, that's yo' @$$

    get them boxed, bagged & throw em in a big duffle bag man. Although I'm sure the good ppl at BLT will know the drill.

    The question is not how to conceal them - that's easy. The question is how to conceal and carry in such a way that if some hosebag tries to pull a shiv on you, you can respond with crocodile dundee-esque flair - "That's not a knife, now THAT'S a knife!" as you whip out your three-foot long willowleaf saber.

    Heh, heh. I think it'll be the same for ANY big, sharp, pointy swordy-lookin' thing regardless of it's race, religion or country of origin .

    I was going to buy a couple of cheap broadswords just for display in my room, butterfly knives and a straight sword but oh well maybe next payday.

    I keep a dao in my car... someone asked me if I had a knife (to cut a tag off of something) so I grabbed it and handed it to them, the look was classic.
