View source for Real weapons in the SCA

Always make sure:
* Real weapons (knives, swords, etc.) are '''not''' be drawn at an [[SCA]] [[event]]. 
* Fighting with metal weapons is '''not permitted at SCA events'''. If you want to do this, join a [[metal weapons]] group. Also note we are not talking about authorised [[rapier]] fighting with approved weaponry. 
* Follow your local [[mundane]] laws with regards to carrying weapons. This may require you to have the weapons in a secure bag or container when not at an event. 
* Be responsible and do not touch other people's weapons without permission, be they real or SCA weapons.

The only exceptions to the first rule are:
#In honour of the [[crown]]
#Displaying the [[blade]] ("Clear!" must be called before doing this to let surrounding people know what you're doing)
#Self defense
