is this illegal to have on your possession..?

[Kenshin]

Swords are totally legal though

Honestly V4, the kusarigama's primary function is to disarm or incapacitate an assailant who's using a sword as his primary weapon. They're not a particularly useful weapon today in 2019 where your opponent is highly unlikely to be attacking with a sword.

If i were you, i'd just invest in a decent sword or machete yourself and call it a day. You probably already have one and the skills to effectively deploy it in a combat situation if you're currently training a ryuha of kobudo or koryu that includes kata & waza utilizing the kusarigama.

California penal codes 21310pc (concealed weapons) and 16590pc (illegal weapons) both clearly state that a fixed blade of any length is 100% legal provided it's conspicuously open-carried on the hip or elsewhere in plain view. I walk around with a daisho (katana and wakizashi short sword) on my hip everyday as part of my normal street clothes. Never had any problem. Sure i get stares and every once in a blue moon some uninformed snitch will drop the dime and the cops will show up, ask a couple questions and leave without even running my name, but i've never had an actual "problem" as a result of carrying swords. Katana have the convenient plausible deniability of "oh gee officer, i can see you're unhappy about this sword i have here, but you see i'm just on my way to/from the dojo where i need this sword for practice". And machetes have the added plausible deniability of technically being a landscaping tool.

"You must be new here"

Gee, ya think? You must be bordering on literate to have deduced that! Boy oh boy, we've got a real clever individual here.

Honestly, finding the forum by googling Japanese weaponry and finding the forum by "happenstance" are technically one and the same; but since you seem to think it matters... I actually stumbled across the question that started this thread while searching for a Japanese Nihonto dealer willing to illegally ship an antique kusarigama to california. And since nobody had mentioned that kusarigama are indeed completely illegal even for in-home private collections here in CA, i thought i'd offer up that pertinent information for the benefit of the individual who originally inquired.

Yet you showed up & decided it was appropriate to mock me/make me feel unwelcome for my consideration, compassion and effort? Classy.

When confirmation needs no clarification....:laughing

Like has been said, welcome.

Mapleroad-
Domo. Hajimemashite. Yoroshiku o-negaishimasu. To be honest, i don't really plan on spending much time here, though i'm not like vehemently opposed to the idea - i'm just not legitimately much of a motorcycle enthusiast, as it were. I only really joined to offer up that info to the original poster in hopes of saving them some unnecessary grief with the bacon boys. I can't tolerate a bully and i'm sure we all know that certain cops take it on themselves to be some of the biggest bullies around.

Scootergmc-
I shouldn't have been defensive & condescending when responding to you and you have my sincere apologies. I was matching the energy i got from your comment, but two wrongs don't make a right & i should've made a stronger effort to be the bigger person by responding to your condescension with consideration, compassion & respect rather than matching it with condescension of my own. Apologies if my humble input wasn't appreciated. I wish you & yours only the best of all things and i hope & pray Lord Buddha will illuminate your path with his limitless compassion & understanding.

I wish a splendid afternoon to you both and whoever else may be reading.

Namu Amida Butsu.

Hey Kenshin, welcome to teh BARFs. the reason you are getting a bit of a ribbing is that the thread you responded to is from 2010, and frankly, some of the people posting in it are not even around anymore.

cool that you found us and are sharing your knowledge, but I am pretty sure the original poster’s question is no longer at the front of their attention...

but if you can get past the teasing, BARF has really diverse membership, who ask all kinds of entertaining questions.

especially here in the LEO section, and also the kitchen sink sub forum

THIS IS A MODERATOR WARNING.

There is no LEO bashing allowed in the LEO Forum here on BARF. I am a moderator here and a police officer in real life. The bay area riders forum offers a somewhat unique LEO Forum where members can post legal questions, among other things and get input from real Law Enforcement Officers who are also members and moderators here. Many helpful officers of the past have stopped coming here to help out because they got tired of negative comments. So the rule in here is that they are not allowed.

You are free to go to other forums in BARF, such as the Kitchen Sink, and express those ideas. Thanks for your cooperation.

The only good kkkop is a dead kkkop

When pigs aren't stealing from or unjustly harassing taxpaying law-abiding citizens, they're filling the internet's troll quota. Who knew!

Look here Mussolini the talking pig, I didn't bash anyone; i humbly, respectfully and thoughtfully pointed out that certain cops give their fellow officers and profession at large a downright terrible name by being asshole bullies - which is 100% TRUE - kinda similar to the way a certain dickless coward troll has been bullying me since i got here but you, a moderator, didn't have shit to say about any of that and instead chose to fuck with me for telling the truth in a 100% respectful and considerate way, you sad insecure little poltroon of a worthless bully.

Literally any officer who got into law enforcement for anything even vaguely resembling the right reasons will tell you that unjust white supremacist asshole bully pigs like you are the FIRST AND ONLY reason the general public HATES ALL PIGS and why it's subsequently so hard for the few halfway decent officers who are the exception that proves the rule to do their job properly, safely & efficiently. Sad insecure little bullies like you are more detrimental to good law enforcement than every criminal in america combined. YOU are the problem with law enforcement, sir, and you don't even have the spine to display a shred of accountability - to the point where you bully and attempt to censor the innocent for telling the truth that you're not man enough to acknowledge.. Fuck you, bacon boy, you're a fucking disgrace. You're less than trash and your sad life of bullying men you'll never hold a candle to is coming to an end sooner than later, so enjoy it while it lasts. Or you could go do something worthwhile for once in your pathetic joke of a life and COMMIT SEPPUKU, you fascist bully piece of shit. Maybe your buddy Scooter the talking jackass can help you with kaishaku duties by lopping your empty head of your pale pimpled fascist shoulders with a clean slice thru your red sunburned peckerwood neck after you've completed the abdominal incision.

Stupid fucking eurotrash-amerikkkan white men. Pack up your horseshit racist entitlement based on your klancestors' genocidal land theft and sail back home to Europe on the HMS White Supremacy.

And fuck you too, assclown

You and Mussolini the talking pig over there are the only ones i see embarassing themselves by jamming your feet into your ignorant white supremacist donut receptacles. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Sayonara.

Fuck the police, comin' straight from the underground

"Without a gun and a badge, what do ya got?
A sucker in a uniform waitin' to get shot!"

You're more than welcome to stop by the dojo for a friendly contest just as soon as either of you needledicked cowards manage to grow a pair. Stop by any afternoon. You'll need to bring your own oak bokuto but leave your fakeass badge and your 9mm penis compensation device at home. We'll settle it like men (despite the fact that neither one of you have what it takes to be a man). I'll blow through you like a shakuhachi meditation flute.

Some "shield"

Aren't shields supposed to like... shield you from projectiles? Or does yours only shield you from legal accountability when you unload a couple magazines into some innocent unarmed black child's back?

Damn, I was hoping for a conclusion to the 2010 thread. Like how much time did V4 get for carrying that crazy thing around on his bike.

You'll do well here and I hope you stick around. :laughing

Just suspended and not banned, correct? We really need to get this guy into the political forum. :thumbup

Well, that went south fast.

With such mean spirited comments and obviously warped points of view, I vote a perm-ban.
