Poor guy just wanted to buy swords at the mall and hang them up on his bedroom wall at his parents house and now everyone knows he's a loser.

Honestly, this was my first thought: He probably bought them there.

Second thought: why is this news? It's not illegal to have any of those things, so why are the police involved? If he's a person of interest for some other reason, then maybe let's just say that.

If you ask a criminal lawyer, like I did out of curiosity, then they may violate the blade laws in your area if the sharpened edge is longer than, or in violation of what the law allows.

But typically nothing will happen unless someone is wielding it as a weapon menacingly or just being incredibly stupid with it, or if people are in fear of their well-being or safety.

My specific question i asked was if I could wear a full set of medieval knight armor and sword to work on casual friday. Could i take public transportation.

Fascinating! Thanks for the insight. Hopefully the store in the mall isn't selling illegally-long sharpened-edge items!

_Could_ you wear your full armor on public transportation? Now I'm curious!

When they switch from the anime style back to the regular version and it's just Butters with a ninja star in his eye....I don't know if I've ever laughed harder at a TV show.

Quality WCAX reporting here. Especially the photo of the man apparently taken with the same camera used to capture all images of ghosts and bigfoot.

Called in by the same type of people who call in a person walking down the street with a rifle.

What else is the U-Mall for if not for socially awkward young adults to spend excessive amounts of money on cosplay accessories? They should rebrand it “Dungeons and Dragons and Beyond”

So I can carry a gun, but not a sword? Makes good sense.

This isn't your house, bud. Also, that's not a normal conversation dads have to have with kids. Sounds like you've just been oblivious on how to interact with other humans since you were child.
