Apparently the use of swords is not uncommon in Baltimore
« on: 2013-07-25, 20:32:27 »
Been kind of quiet the last couple of days here so I was trolling about teh interwebz and came across this.

First, a Baltimore man was convicted of murder after killing another man with a sword over a football debt: http://www.thebiglead.com/index.php/2013/07/25/baltimore-man-convicted-of-murder-after-killing-man-with-a-sword-over-a-football-debt/

The article detailing the use of swords in Baltimore crime is linked near the end of the blurb.

When you have strict gun laws, a sword is the next best option. :)

I say use what you are naturally gifted with and don't look for man-made weapons to compensate for what you lack. Your brain, body, and skill will always serve you best without legal recourse. :)
