Covering your face is illegal
Sir Matthew:
None of my helmets are enclosed, so I guess I'm safe for now. I'll have to look into what Pa. law says, I guess, so when I do finally get around to working on my 14th Cent. kit, I'm prepared. It does seem to be kind of a common sense thing though, that with us we aren't really up to no good. When's the last time you heard of a bank or other robber (which would really seem to be the target of this law) being described as wearing armor and a helmet? ;)
Sir James A:
Interesting. Last I heard, years ago, it's illegal for anyone over the age of 13 to wear a mask on Halloween; too many teenagers picking on the younger kids and stealing their candy, and the young kids only being able to describe the bullies by the mask they are wearing. And that's of little use any other day but that Halloween. Looking back, it's probably a good thing I was sick and couldn't wear the menpo (face mask) with my samurai armor. Of course I knew not to take a sword, even a stainless steel, unsharped SLO - it'd be a deadly weapon to anybody else, legally.
I wonder how SCA gets away with their fighter practices? Last ones I looked into were both in public parks.
Also, Virginia is such a "nanny state" on many things, it's completely ridiculous. Too many highly paid people with almost no common sense or sense of reality, combined with crooked politicians who are more than happy to strip away everyone else's rights while maintaining their own. If I didn't have so much family there, I'd be glad to have moved out of VA. :(
Sir Patrick:
I just checked on swords in Missouri, and basically as long as it's part of a costume I'm good! I always peace tie it with zip ties at Halloween just to be safe. Still looking into helms.

Basically so it can't be drawn. A knot or something tying it down.
