ncole_91 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I do not think so, it depends on where you live. I think though, for example, a robber came into your house and stole the katana, then injured or killed someone with it, you could get charged...

MenteReligieuse Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 In canada you can't move it outside of your house if it is sharpened I believe.Shurikens are banned. I aso doubt you could walk around with a chain whip but that I'm not sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I aso doubt you could walk around with a chain whip but that I'm not sure...I'm almost 100% sure chain whips are prohibited weapons.I've never heard anything about this law that you can't move around with a katana if it's sharpened. That's a new one on me, especially since so many swords are sharpened when you buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a new one on me, especially since so many swords are sharpened when you buy them.Most of these I think are related to people carrying them around as available weapons. In all the states I've trained it, you are allowed to have them in your house, or in your car if you are on your way to/from the dojang or tournaments, etc. You just can't carry it around as an all purpose kind of thing.Carring concealed, such as a shuriken, expandable escrima/baton, etc. is subject to the regulations of your local constabulary.Oh, and Jussi, in the US, there are laws that limit the length of the blade of the knife depending on whether it is a straight knife or a folding knife. I'm pretty sure a katana would violate most of them.

Zaine Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 only if your keeping it concealed in your car or something, but even then, those rules only apply to some places Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aruder Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I think in some areas you can't carry a blade over a certain size concealed in a pocket or bag... a katana is a bit difficult to conceal though.I know of many conventions and rennaisance fairs that ask anyone carry a sword to "peace tie" it, tying the tsuba or handguards to the saya or scabbards so it can't me drawn.
