Yeah, I have had several impacts on my legs from the "return" and that is on a range with a good backstop! Thats why we wear vests!! the worst potential for that is the FMJ!

Ornamental weapons, such as metal swords or real maces are covered under the California Uniform and Costume code. We can carry them to and from events. A friend of mine several years ago got stopped on a traffic stop when he and his wife were on their way to an event, and the cop asked. My friend explained the SCA, and my friend drove on with just the speeding ticket.

Well thats good, I was thinking of the instance cited above where they were used as other than costumes.

Well, the first was definitely inside a private residence and both are pretty clear cut cases of Self Defence

It was, but the badger line is at the end after Arthur questioned him about "Who leaps out?" and realizes that they weren't in the rabbit.. then say the badger line as the new plan.

In California anyway, and possibly elsewhere...you are allowed to have a medieval weapon while going to or from a renaissance faire or other similar event. The understanding is that it stays in the sheath, but in that one instance, I'm sure even a cop when be good with their reason for removing them, especially since they weren't used.

In our group we do sword fighting, but it's using rattan swords so that we can actually hit each other and it becomes more of a sport. So, while we don't swing the real things around, we do know how to use them (well those that do the fighting, I do a little, but mostly I'm into the dancing)
