Interestingly, we've already had to deal with sword carrying in California USA. It is illegal in California to carry or wield a sword if there is intent is to harm. I believe that our Constitution bans sword dueling. California used to have laws banning swoirds in the 19th C.
It's illegal to have a stick with a lanyard or hand guard! Or a wood replacement handle for a pick in your vehicle. (If you have a truck and you are clearly in construction (etc) intent is assumed. But, in a typical pasenger car, a pick handle near at hand, no store reciept for its recent purchase... crime time!
Some SCA folk have been arrested for tansporting rattan swords. ie sticks with handguards... tossed out of court when it became clear that their intent was use in the sport of SCA combat.
Rules on transporting weapons in a vehicle may apply. Do not carry a sword under your car seat in California!
There is an old body of law regulating blades over 3", folding blades etc.
Concealing a sword on one's person is illegal. Interestingly, you can get a permit to carry a concealed firearm but not a sword.
California treats crossbows as firearms.
These Laws are written with the purpose of giving law enforcement a right to stop and question you. Is that a good thing?
BTW... California should be spelled with a "K".. Kalifornia... and is often named the Democratic People's Republic of Kalifornia.
Thanks be to the "conservative" powers that be that San Diego has the most liberal laws regarding concealed fireams in Kalifornia... More CW permits issued in this county than in the rest of the entire State!
I do not envy our EU friends, but it seems the part of national socialism to disarm the citizenry so that even though they may have an Unalienable Right to rise up and throw off oppressive government their ability to do so is seriously restricted. Govt as parent... no thank you very much.
Can I get a PO Box in the UK? ...or do you need a hard address to sign the petition? Anyone with an extra "room to let"? ...wink wink nudge nudge
