In at least a handful of states it's legal to carry a sword

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

Extrapolating from this, In practice it probably depends more on if you're black

That's totally racist!

But also probably totally true.

Ah a wtf story well i have one

Okay history class 3rd period my the class was playing a game where we played the countries involved in world war 1 i was russia i took over romania and bulgaria along with greece and severed my alliances with the allies and helped destroy austria hungary by convincing germany and italy to attack them i destroyed them but then the ottoman empire broke our secret alliance turned on me  should have destroyed him turn 1 my forces we're decimated it was 1918 and the allies were putting germany in a difficult position and thousands of soldiers had died along with millions of innocents so i proposed a peace a treaty known as the treaty of franz ferdinhind within this treaty it demanded the ottomans give me back my land and greece would be granted independence from russian rule and austria hungary would be kept by the people who conquered it until those people could rebuild their damaged country it also demanded immediate demiltarization along with the end of world war 1

Everyone except portugal screamed no we want more murder and i then realized i was the nicest person in the room

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.

In Britain we ban everything, even assault vases
There was actually a big thing back with the umbrellas that had sword handles and hilts, since the police kept nearly getting heart attacks and bobbly sticks out over brolleys

Look out for that Trilby character, his brolly has a taser.  No wonder guards cower in fear at the sight of him.

In NZ it's illegal to carry a weapon. A weapon is defined as anything that is used as a weapon. :. it is illegal to carry anything.

Noticed that my avatar was dead linking. I logged on to my Dropbox and the file was still exactly where I left it. It's possible that my account was temporarily deactivated since I haven't used it in years, but I wasn't expecting that.

You know... Lazy Town is a VERY unique show in that...

It is a show about living a healthy active lifestyle.

Yet it treats candy and videogames as something not only good but inherently attractive... Where as most shows treat them like they are EVIL!!!

Heck both the Candy kid and Computer kid NEVER are asked to give up what they like. O_o

Its like they're trying to sneak in a realist's point or something about having fun and being healthy not being polar opposites.

Ain't that that kids show with mini-Leeloo and swol-Waluigi?

Yeah since when are we trying to teach kids valuable lessons?

How odd, I keep listening but it doesn't get any less good.
