I think we should bring back the topic to allowing people to carry swords on person. @ airports they should have a sword locker for people when they board the plane =P. Now what should the age requirement be for a sword license?

Well, judging by my knowledge of RPGs, which seem to set the precedent for this sort of society...

About 8.

sounds about right, but does that mean they get to carry swords to school? Or rather what would be required to obtain a sword license? Other than paying for the required sword insurance

Well, swords would be taken upon entering the school, but handed back out (including during recess) when the students left the school.

The requirement for the sword license would be to pass the SCE (Swordsman Competency Examination), which would test on basic skills and techniques.

8 years old? How about closer to 5, especially if they have the voice of Eri Kitamura

On a child's 8th birthday take him/her to the blacksmith and pick up a sword and start them on SCE schooling =P.

But I am generally curious on TLer's opinions of this

1) Generally, and historically, swords have just one purpose - killing or hurting other humans.

Explosives, Bows, guns, knives, axes, hammers, bats, whatever, they have other purposes and uses as well. Swords? That's for killing.

What other purpose does guns have other than killing more so than a sword? Hunting? That's killing. What about explosives? The only other purpose for explosives is high level construction such as mining operations, what's the use for your average guy for explosives other than killing?

Interesting thread. I don't even know if it's legal to carry a real katana around in the Czech Republic but nobody ever complained hehe.

I had a sword umbrella but I got black-out drunk at a club and lost it TT so SAAAAAAAD! I think New York Laws are much more concerned with concealed weapons. It's illegal to carry a concealed blade longer than 6-inches I believe. Also, opening having a weapon is pretty safe imo. It's a deterrent for crime, and any law enforcement knows exactly what they are dealing with. Carrying concealed handguns or switch blades is far more dangerous imo. I'd rather deal with you knowing you have a sword, than not knowing if you have a gun or knife under your jacket.

When I sit in the bus and take a look around... no I would never want any of those people to be allowed to wear a weapon. Never.

So now you have something for self defense to carry on you that looks totally boss, If you are about to commit a crime it actually requires you to have some remote skill with the weapon. And it's not like you can hide it.

Well you can't run away from guns, but you can probably run away from a sword wielding person. most people can point a barrel and shoot (even though proper use is an art of itself). Guns are also concealable where as swords are not.
