So where do I need to move to be able ratio legally carry a zweihander?

It's legal here, as long as you're not in a gang, a drug dealer, or an organised criminal, you're not travelling with other people also openly carrying zweihanders, and you don't look like you plan to use it. Walking around with it securely strapped to your back would almost certainly be legal.

In at least a handful of states it's legal to carry a sword as long as it's sheathed and in plain view, though many states have additional laws that just outright flat prohibit carrying blades over a certain length unless in a historical re-enactment/etc.. Additionally things like cane swords often get caught under the "Concealed weapons" law, so you can't necessarily carry them.

That said if the blade in question is over 100-120 years old (IIRC the exact age depends on the state) then it counts as an "antique" instead of a weapon (assuming you aren't actually using it as a weapon at the time), and you can do pretty much whatever you want with it, since it would be the same as say, carrying around an antique vase under the law.

Might as well be illegal if the local law enforcement aren't up on their state law :p

With a sheath? Duh.

My personal guess would be with straps

Myself I use two broad strips of cloth.

Seriously though, it's not that hard. Just don't expect to be able to draw it, that'd be silly.


You can almost definitely directly determine my mood on a given day by measuring the amount of Evanescence I listened to. It's simultaneously practically caricature levels of emo angsty adolescent and good songwriting and style. The world would be a better place with more heavy guitar and piano music in it.

I feel really anxious for no discernable reason. I think maybe I've been eating too much or not enough of something or maybe in general.

You just need enough straps:

I am very tired. So tired that I seem to have forgotten the violent mood swing I've been having for the last few days. To tired to get completely raged up that my parents are jacking up the rent.

anyway wtf Sweden? Swords? Really?

What, no halberd? No wait, I may have that confused with Switzerland.

For some reason, I just looked into my spambox. So many Nigerian Prince-type of scams in there.

Not one single penis enhancement ad.

You should take that as a compliment. The spammers think you are well-endowed, and the only thing keeping you from true happiness is a heavier wallet.

I just remembered another WTF for the day. One of my coworkers noticed a man very obviously stealing, including wearing a hat that he very definitely did not have on when he came in(the tag was still on it). He reports this to the cashiers. I watch him get rung up for some of the items, but not all(hat was not). Then I watch him walk out.

While the cashiers are under strict instructions not to chase after thieves(for admittedly good reason), something like this is not supposed to happen. At all.
