"As reported by Eurogamer, 48-year-old Anthony Bray, of Nuneaton in Warwickshire, England, was spotted carrying a replica of the iconic weapon from Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda series openly in the local town centre.
Warwickshire Police spotted Bray on June 8 via CCTV walking down the street with something in his hand. Bray was said to have approached officers with the item visible in his hand, at which point he was arrested as he was carrying a bladed article."
Well there’s your problem.
Yes. I am proud (?) to say that in my US state I could legally carry a full size functional Master Sword, or any other sword, on my belt or strapped to my back provided I didn’t brandish it at anyone without due cause.
It would technically be illegal to conceal without a permit, though, which raises some interesting logistical questions.
I’ve seen Highlander, you can conceal a full size katana in the inside breast pocket of a trench coat. You can even go for a run with it there and the coat will flap and move like the sword isn’t even there.
Yes, but you must:
Sure, but Who Wants to Live Forever? There’s no chance for us, it’s all decided for us. This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us.
I’m also going to drop this link here…

…And then run away going “Woo-hoo, woo-hoo!” like Daffy Duck. You’re welcome.
Any other sword I’ll give you, but I wouldn’t dare carry this around out of fear of being sued by Nintendo for copyright infringement…
Sure, but they’ll have to fight me and I’m the one holding the sword.
D’j’a 'ave a permit for that? What about the permit license?
Could also have been Nintendo, to be fair. They’ll probably have him sentenced to four more months once he gets out due to the toy being counterfeit or something.
