You can always disarm a gun wielding psycho and afterwards - look - free gun.
Much more badass in the badassery department anyway.
Why choose?

Is that relevant? Besides swords are all over our history, especially when you include their conversion into the bayonet... though that's arguably a small pole-arm or short spear... say I wonder if I could carry a spear around legally... hrm...

Actually I found an article about this very idea...

I have not read it fully myself. If you guys read it I would be interested in what you think about it.
Open carry is legal in 28 states without restriction. In another 13 states, a license is required. As ABC entitled a recent report, "Open carry is on the rise."

From you link and something I did not know :

I have been out of the states for a few years but it is my understanding that Texas has passed open carry which comes into effect sometime in January 2016.. I have to renew my CHL this year which I will do even though I am outside the states..

Everyone *IS* a threat.
Everyone is an a-grade a-hole too.
It's just how long you have to wait before that becomes clear for each individual.
I barely trust the people who would match me in a dna sample let alone strangers...
Everyone's a threat.
Such a lovely society.
Bunch of dicks.
Thanks for making our world less safe, collectively, with your gun-ho (sic) culcha (sic)....

Oh sure, it starts with the local blackbelts at the corner store and the next thing you know, it's ninjas and samurai, then the comic book cosplayers and LARP'ers show up with their foam weaponry and it's a full on party from then on out.
Ah, America.
God shed His Grace on Thee.

Well the problem I think is he wants us to use our "historical heroes"
Sadly by the time America was founded... Guns were already invented, so that might be difficult.

You guys are phucked up
Regardless, you're a sick society and need to look at yourselves and think about what you want. No longer are you a beacon to the world, nor a representation of a free and equal society. It's a shame. You have so much potential, but you're caught up in your cancer.
