Surprisingly, it’s entirely legal to carry a sword in public in California, as long as you are the wearer is not brandishing it or concealing it. In other words, if the sword is carried in a sheath suspended from the wearer’s waist, it is legal to have in public.

It goes on to say that county and city ordinances may override this, so make sure to check your local regulations before you cosplay a medieval knight!

It is also illegal to bring a sword into a federal government building, other than a federal court facility.

This made me laugh. Why can you carry a sword into a federal court? Is it an old exception for dueling or something?
