Do i have to have a license?

[Grimslade]

Ok i live in lithuania one of the baltic countries near germany.Where could i buy a catana for about 100$?

Ebay... if you cant find something, its on ebay

I would suggest getting a cold steel warrior series katana if you are planning on using it. But your price range wont allow that. So... Ebay

If someone was to steal it from you and use it to kill someone, you can't be charged. It is not nelagence on your part.

You might not be charged, but you would possibly fall under suspision if you didn't report it stolen...

Where I live, you can carry one around as long as you're not threatening anyone with it. Do be prepaired to be stopped by every police officer that sees you walking down the street with a sword on your back or waist. Usually, they'll run a check on you, find out if you have a legitimate reason to be carring one, like going to practice, or with a class practicing in the park. Be prepared to have guns drawn though if you are sparing with weapons outside of a class with someone. It's happended to me and a friend using a set of shinai. Remember, police have to always have to be careful so give them a break. Just be calm, IMMEDIATELY drop your weapon, it's even better if you do it before they even get out and tell you to(it can be the difference between a drawn weapon or them just having ahold of it), keep your hands visible, do what they say, and explain what you're doing.(I asked the guy about it after they stopped us) A good way to find out is to look at your state's legislation: Google ____ state law self defense or ___state law weapon.

http://home.netcom.com/~brlevine/sta-law.htm has compiled a great amount of information on this subject as it pertains to knives, but you can expect similar restrictions on other weapons as well because they often fall into the same category.

Or, you can do what I did and contact your local state police office and ask them. Remember, it's YOUR responsibility to find out what's legal in your area, I claim no authority in this subject, these are just some things I've researched.
