It's not mentioned in this article, but the man in question has a long history of burglary and did four years for a string of thefts. It's likely a big part of why HIM carrying a 6'' blade is concerning.
56 4 ReplyWell if it were a 6' blade that could actually be a problem. This 6" blade is not likely to be one imo.

In college, my friend carried a 6' sword everywhere, hilt poking up from behind the backpack.
It wasn't a showpiece, either -- and the years of fencing training meant it wasnt a toy.
And, really, no one cared beyond "oh neat." Since it was visible on three sides, it was also perfectly legal.

Yea but "criminal sentenced for carrying sword" doesn't have quite the reactionary clickbait ring to it.
