As the urban myth goes…some drunken ‘F-ing TARD’ pulled a sword on a cast member. But the stark reality is the fair is owned by a family of lawyers who don’t like liabilities.  :-\

I know my cousin also named nate.
went with a group of kendo friends and got into a giant sword fight a few years back.
they were samurais fighting vikings I think.
that might be what happened.

It's also in the 'Great' State of Maryland... and that's all you need to know when it comes to freedom to carry weapons :)

I heard similar, but a knife drawn on a bartender

Lawyers + MD probably has a large amount to do with it :)

I say we just siege the faire & make it a conquest for the Order. What can they do against a bunch of armored knights with blades?? :P

Their security is a bunch of barely trained, unarmed, non-violent, private seasonal help in t-shirts & there is typically no Police or Sheriff to be found on-site for help. LOL No need. We'll do this medieval style.
