Nikkolaiashimon Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 Hey all, Im pretty new here, but i didnt see this answered here. I wanted to know what laws there are concering the ownership/transportation of deadly martial arts weapons? Im gonna start taking Kung Fu soon, and will end up wanting to transport whatever weapons im learning to and from school. Any info or links would be great! Cry in the Dojo, Laugh on the Battlefield.
battousai16 Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 well, you have to realize that laws differ from country to country, state to state, city to city. i can tell you that right now in verona, WI, you can carry whatever you want if it's in a special carrying case. police are usually pretty understanding, though.

Nikkolaiashimon Posted June 5, 2003 Author Posted June 5, 2003 Thanks a bunch, where should i look to find my local laws on this? Cry in the Dojo, Laugh on the Battlefield.
Martial_Artist Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 Look for your state's Dept. of Public Safety Webpage. Ask for a copy of State statutes, or if they have a list for you on a state/city web page.

Tombstone Posted June 6, 2003 Posted June 6, 2003 Just my opinion, If a cop pulls you over and you're wearing a kung fu uniform and have nunchakus in your backseat, I really don't think you'll have a problem. But if you're walking down the road with a sword under your coat, expect a problem.
Drunken Monkey Posted June 8, 2003 Posted June 8, 2003 yeah but how about all them kung fu master wannabes that dress like that all the time? surely if anyone should be arrested it's them... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
battousai16 Posted June 8, 2003 Posted June 8, 2003 if you mean the naroo shirts with the frog buttons, i wear those all the time. they're comfortable and convenient. they're formal and casual. i don't understand why i should be arrested for wearing them, i see virtually nothing wrong with them.

Pacificshore Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 I know here on the westcoast, just about every martial arts weapon seems to be illegal, but if you are training in a martial arts, and are transporting your training weapons to and from the dojo, then that's not usually a problem.

granmasterchen Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 i will tell you what i have knowledge with for the state of ohio, my instructor worked with the police force and other similar agencies, i was told i could keep them in my trunk and transport them too and from class to my home, yet i would always keep them in my trunk, if ever pulled over ...just saying you are coming back from class or going to class, just make sure that you have your gi to back up your claim......hmmmmm maybe this is bad advise, i just hope that you are honest and not going to be a serial killer That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger
granmasterchen Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 speaking of kung fu uniforms is there any cool links that you have to buy some nice outfits for cheap, they don't even have to be just uniforms, i like the style, nice comfortable and silk or something light weight?
