They issue those for edged weapons? What state are you in, Master Garland?
Color me surprised...most states I've either lived in or been to seem to discourage the carrying of edged weapons en total. Even here in MD your blade has to be 2" in length or less in order to be 'allowed' to carry it.

Concealed carry permit laws vary from state to state. As for carrying blades, those laws were NOT designed for legal carry rules of anything outside of firearms. Blades typically are either legal or dangerous weapons by design and not allotted the same guidelines under firearm laws. They have their own legal rules typically. Everything from type of blade, blade length, serrated, dual-sided, locking mechanism, etc.
Grand Master Garland:
Florida. You can carry a .50 Cal machine gun and battle ax together as long as they are concealed. The South will rise again! 8)
"If any person having or carrying any dirk, sword, sword cane, firearm, electric weapon or device, or other weapon shall, in the presence of one or more persons, exhibit the same in a rude, careless, angry, or threatening manner, not in necessary self-defense, the person so offending shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083."

very true, I love living in Florida. Even open carry of weapons is "allowed" as long as it follows those guide lines. "allowed" here equaling as long as no one complains to authorities, and even then in my experience if you can explain yourself your fine.
Thorsteinn:
In NV anything under 6" is classed a tool by law thus all the court houses say "No Weapons or Knives Allowed" on the front.
Oh and we have open carry, and IIRC swords fall in a loophole of the law, but don't quote me.
Sir James A:
Looks like he was thrusting under the shield and straight at the groin, then lifted, then the shield moved down and pushed it right back at the groin. Can't picture doing any kind of SCA heavy without a cup, especially a tournament.
