Are swords illegal in chicago?

[howlsmoon]

I bought a tensa zangetsu at the anime convention and was wondering if it was illegal to walk with it (sheathed) outside to my friends house or something.
P.S.
it's dull, not sharp at all

WHY would you want to walk around with what looks like a deadly weapon and attract attention ?

I have a really Coool original Iraqi Army Assualt vest with the AK-47 magazines (no ammo) in it. My friends would be sooo jealous if I walked down the street to thier house to show it off. Man they would turn all green with ENVY.:rolleyes:

However, common sense an self sensibilty tells me there are people out there who will not take my pride of ownership the same way my friends or I would. Those same people may be afraid that I am out to hurt somebody and call the Cops. Then they would show up and may even bring their SWAT friends with real guns wondering if I'm all psycho. Then I might make some kinda crazy unknown move and get shot trying to show them my really cool vest is not loaded.:eek:

Dude, how much sense does all of the above make. ABSOLUTELY NONE!!!:p

So my answer would be; keep the blade at home and have your friends come over to show it off to them. You still get the bragging rights and nobody will call the Cops thinking you are a psycho mass murderer.;):D

I like to go into the bank in my off time and wear my bulletproof vest on the outside of my clothing. It's not illegal so I don't see a problem with it. :rolleyes:

Hey swordman, I see you left New York for Chicago.:rolleyes:

My thoughts exactly..





Howlsmoon,

I believe that may not be the brightest idea I have heard, however, if you got yourself one of these bad boys and a cat costume, it would make the responding officer's day.
