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)
