I just wonder. If you can openly carry a firearm. Could you not also openly carry a sword? Bow and arrow?

    In civilized countries none of those options are legal, open or not.
    If any of those are legal where you live, I highly recommend you move somewhere else more civilized.

    Edit:
    Wow so people here find it OK in a civilized society to walk around in public with weapons meant for killing?
    Just wow!!?? I never thought I’d see such disgusting insanity here?

      In the UK, a knife with a blade over 3" and/or any safety locking mechanism is illegal. This same extremely common knife is legal to carry (typical utility pocket knife) in a majority of other parts of the world.

        “Illegal without good reason.” You are most definitely allowed to buy kitchen knives to take home with you; trying to take them into a football game will be frowned upon, though.

        Police are usually fairly sensible about it. I’ve got friends that do medieval reenactment that have been stopped with cars full of longswords and crossbows. Show them your event tickets and some of your other gear, you’ll be waved on your way.

        A three-inch blade is allowed provided it doesn’t lock in place; as long as it just folds away (like a swiss army knife) then it’s fine. Three-inch butterfly knife will get you in a lot of bother, though.

      What part of “open carry states” confused you? I don’t live in the US, not that it matters. I was curious about it.

          Because i specifically asked about open carry states. And you start talking about the “rest of the world”.

            you start talking about the “rest of the world”.

            So you interpret civilized countries as the rest of the world?
            Which was kind of the point, why the fuck are you interested in the stupid rules of a barbaric uncivilized psychopathic society?

              I like that you showed up, acted like a complete cunt for literally no reason, and are now getting offended that people are calling you out for acting like a cunt.

                Because people being obsessed with weapons is OK to you?
                And I’m the cunt for being against a culture that promotes school shootings. 🤢 🤮

                  You’re a cunt for being obnoxious about your opinion in a thread not at all related to or inviting your opinion.

                  No one asked about or is talking about school shootings or the necessity of weapons. You brought it up for no reason. If you want to have that discussion, go to a thread where people are seeking that discussion. Bringing it up here makes you an annoying asshole.

                    I certainly did not invite your opinion either, so how are you not obnoxious yourself?

              Yes… that’s the entire point of this community.

              why the fuck are you interested in the stupid rules of a barbaric uncivilized psychopathic society?

              Because knowledge and curiosity leads to personal development. You should try it.

              It is a bit funny though that you hate the US this much but still use their spelling of words. 👌
