For some reason or another, until recently I wasn't allowed an airsoft gun, yet when my little brother was 7 or 8 my father bought him an ornate steel dagger.I figure a steel dagger would be more dangerous than an airsoft gun... Especially when you hang it over your bed. |

Depends on the quality of the steel and whether or not it's got sharp edges - basically, a Sword-Like Object vs. an actual sword. I've got several things in my bedroom back in MD that qualify as SLOs (decorative stainless steel swords I get as gifts from family members who don't know better), but only one actual sword (a 1040 carbon steel (I believe it was 1040, anyways, don't remember) non-traditional forged katana that several of my friends got me as a graduation gift).Not to imply that anything with a point is not dangerous when it's hanging over your head, though - there's just a difference between "looks cool and probably dangerous" and "looks cool and is dangerous". -- Griffinhart |

"When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns."-- A common anti-gun ban quote/slogan @Rickton: Technically, most US states ban the carry of knives over a certain length (or ban certain knives outright) in public. I know that in WA anything with a blade longer than 3 inches is iffy (can't remember off the top of my head if it's definitely illegal though) and, IIRC, in MD carrying a knife in public is illegal without a license, and even then certain kinds of knives are illegal (all "gravity knives" [whatever the hell those are] including bailisongs [butterfly knives], as well as automatic/double-action switchblades). -- Griffinhart |

They're the same thing as a switchblade...Except the blade is opened by inertia/gravity rather than a spring. |

Not sure. Definitely not under 18 at least. Still, crime rates aren't too bad, so...

In Europe there are people whose jobs are to stand still and pretend to be a statue.It's a legit thing, you have to have a license and everything, and people actually give them money! |

in some states it is incredibly legal to carry a switchblade, actually. in my state, i'm pretty sure u have to have a business license to own one. it just depends on where u live. and whats a butterfly knife? anyway, u just have top check the applicable laws of your area, and your country. |

You know there's such a thing as a bailisong "sword"? Yeah. Ridiculous and impractical, hooray! -- Griffinhart |

amazingly, here in Brazil it's incredibly hard to get a fire weapons license; however, butterfly knives are completely legal after you're 16. |
