My friend wants to have a sword cane mailed to me and then he wants me to mail it to him. Apparantly, the company wont ship to California for one reason or another. What law, if any, applies to me in this situation? Thanks!

I heard that.  Give it up Norman, before you make enemies of some of the moderators and owners who know me personally.  I won't be able to help you if you do.

That post was deleted.  Norman chose to carry the insults over to another thread.  Sorry Johnphin, by the way.  Now who is in high school?  I am not going to run to the mods or owner, but I know how they can be.  I was simply saying to Norman, post at your own risk.  Fair enough?  Besides, aren't personal insults against the forum rules?  I don't know since I don't do that.  I think that history shows that they don't tolerate that kind of behavior.  I wouldn't want Norman to loose the privelege of posting, even if I don't care for his opinion.

I am not threatening Norman.  Sheesh, read, will ya?  I don't want to get back at him for his insults either.  I was content to delete the thread and forget it.  Isn't that the mature thing to do?  Or is putting more insults in other people's threads the mature thing?

Yeah, those sword/canes don't look ANYTHING like a weapon, and LE have NO idea what they are...  [whacko]

Besides, I would imagine they are such poor quality they do neither job well.  If you just want one for the "gizmosity" factor, I don't think it's worth it.  If you really want a sword, get a real one and learn how to use it.  

Or, instead of seeking to break the law, why not consider legal alternatives first.  There's a great thread here that discusses options:

I actually do have a couple of swords and used to teach how to use them.  I could use a normal can quite proficiently if needed.  I'll look into the thread that you suggested.  No offense, but I do hate this state and as soon as my family and I are able to leave, we're heading straight back to Texas.  The Land of the free!!

Modern sword variant- 18 inches long and 1/4" thick:

[img]http://mdenterprise.com/saxonnew.jpg[/img]

Saxon short sword is an 18" blade ground from 1/4" stock. Utilizing the same metallurgy that makes our knives so outstanding, the Saxon has a real, honest to God, temper line. Not a hardening line wanting to be a temper line. The grip and a half is made of the same phenomenal glass/epoxy composite we use in our combat/tactical knives. It is very comfortable, and offers excellent control over the blade.

Specifications:

Blade:18" flat ground from 1/4" stock. Fish belly tip.
Finish:Hard chrome standard. Options available.
Grip: Black glass/epoxy composite. Grip and a half.
Length: 26.5" overall.
Weight: Sword - 29oz.
             Sheath - 8 oz.
Sheath: Protective Kydex sheath with retention tip.

If you can spare the time, consider talkng with Kevin McClung, or attending a training session or two.  I hear they're pretty awesome.

I doubt you'd need a sword cane, then.

Hope you get back home soon!

Overall Length: 27-3/8"
Closed Length: 34-7/8"
Blade Length: 21-1/8"
