Don't carry a six inch Master Sword in England

Already a thread....MODS can lock. :(



I am glad we have our independence from such draconian overlords.


Anthony Bray, 48 of Jodrell Street in Nuneaton, has been sentenced to four months in prison after being found in possession of a bladed article in public.

The article in question was a small replica of the Master Sword from the Legend of Zelda games, which had a total blade length of 6 inches.

The blade was inside a sheath and could be released from the sheath with the press of a button.

On 8 June 2024, officers were made aware through CCTV operators of a man – Anthony Bray – walking down Queens Road, Nuneaton with something in his hand.

Bray approached officers with the item in his hand visible, at which point he was arrested as he was carrying a bladed article.

Bray claimed that the sword was a “fidget” – something to keep his hands busy. He had bought it online as a fidget toy.

Officers tried to explain to Bray that, despite its intended purpose, it was in fact a sharply pointed item which could be used as a weapon and might put others in fear of it being used against them.

There is a fascinating series of Revisionist History centered on Americas gun laws. First episode talks about an obscure 17th century legal case that references obscure 14th century law being used in oral arguments before the US Supreme Court in the 21st century.

Here, I made a link between this and the OP.
