'In ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history, an ancient race of people... the Druids. No one knows who they were, or... what they were doing...'

Am all in favour of freedom of religion, and indeed the right to own swords be they ceremonial or otherwise. Wearing them on trips to the hardware store, OTOH, is where it starts to get silly.

Yeah, a sword does seem a bit inconvenient for that.

Of course, if it had been a smaller blade, he'd've got himself arrested on charges of carrying a concealed weapon.

I beg to differ.

I can see heading off to a conclave in full kit and nipping into the hardware store for some mixed nuts on the way.

Where it starts to get silly is calling yourself King Arthur fucking Pendragon.

Nothing wrong with pottering about the hardware store in garb, but it's awfully hard to drive with a sword strapped on your back. Why not peace-bind it and leave it in the trunk until you reach site?

If he was on public transport, it would make more sense. I suppose if it becomes a regular problem the shop could have a "weapons check" at the door, which opens up a whole new tin of silliness.

Public transport, or on a bicycle, or walking.
Are druids allowed to drive? Surely it contravenes some sort of "be nice to the environment" law?

Hrm. I wonder if the sgain dubh I usually wear strapped to my right ankle (under my pants leg) could cause a problem...
