general, carrying weapons of any type common to the SCA period is allowed. Some
kingdoms may restrict or prohibit carrying them in court but Ansteorra does not.
It is wise to have some type of covering for the sharp bits of weapons (e.g.
spear heads).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

question<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>I noticed at Beltane that quite of few people were wearing swords at
their sides. I would assume for decorative purposes. But
what if your chosen persona would normally prefer a spear or some other type
of weapon that cannot be sheathed? Are these allowed? What if the
weapon is also functional as a throwing spear, knife, axe, etc? The
answer is probably obvious but I wasn't sure of the rules regarding this or
the mundane legalities of it. </DIV>
