I found out it is legal to carry a sword, on your hip, as long as it isnt concealed or drawn, however, like several of you have said, it can be called on as a public neuscense (sp sorry) etc.
Thanks for your help,

PS. Does anyone know anything about Hwa Rang Do/Tae Soo Do. I know we learn swordfighting in both, however they are not mentioned, from what ive seen, on this forum.

Thanks again,
Kikiyo

939.22(10)
(10) "Dangerous weapon" means any firearm, whether loaded or unloaded; any device designed as a weapon and capable of producing death or great bodily harm; any electric weapon, as defined in s. 941.295 (4); or any other device or instrumentality which, in the manner it is used or intended to be used, is calculated or likely to produce death or great bodily harm.

Now you need to peruse the criminal code and see the prohibitions for "Dangerous Weapons"; which would include swords. You can go to www.findlaw.com and then look at Wisconsin Statutes. My invoice will be in the mail.
