    Sword Canes...

    Miss Neecerie, Excellent post. It's amazing how many people never check their actual state statutes when they wonder if something is "illegal" or not. Of course, most people never wonder about the legality of things because they know they aren't a criminal to be worried about. There is...

    Sword Canes...

    I'd talk to a lawyer versed in the criminal code before carrying anything with a concealed blade, especially if the blade comes out like a switchblade or gravity knife. You can just talk to your local DA also, though they often like to say "no" just because they can rather than due to an...

    Sword Canes...

    Sword canes were a practical discrete alternative from the late 18th to late 19th centuries, when the actual wearing of swords openly was frowned upon but the carrying of weapons for self-protection by citizens was still common. Remember, in large part professional police were few and far...

    The long lever gave greater leverage and a longer stroke to extract the cartridge without tearing the rim off. When facing a horde of fuzzy-wuzzys you didn't want to be prying a case out of the chamber with your pocket knife.
