as long as it's an open carry, right?There is no law that says you cant.
95. Illegal carrying of weapons
A. Illegal carrying of weapons is:
(1) The intentional concealment of any firearm, or other instrumentality customarily used or intended for probable use as a dangerous weapon, on one's person; or

(3) The ownership, possession, custody or use of any tools, or dynamite, or nitroglycerine, or explosives, or other instrumentality customarily used by thieves or burglars at any time by any person with the intent to commit a crime; or
(4) The manufacture, ownership, possession, custody or use of any switchblade knife, spring knife or other knife or similar instrument having a blade which may be automatically unfolded or extended from a handle by the manipulation of a button, switch, latch or similar contrivance.
(5)(a) The intentional possession or use by any person of a dangerous weapon on a school campus during regular school hours or on a school bus. "School" means any elementary, secondary, high school, or vo-tech school in this state and "campus" means all facilities and property within the boundary of the school property. "School bus" means any motor bus being used to transport children to and from school or in connection with school activities.
(b) The provisions of this Paragraph shall not apply to:

(iii) Any person having the written permission of the principal or school board and engaged in competition or in marksmanship or safety instruction.
Louisiana law states that you can not have a concealed knife with a blade length more than 5".
I would be curious if those are full tang swords as opposed to the crap replicas. They do not actually say it anywhere on that page. But for those prices, I sure would hope they're full tang swords.
They do seem a bit overpriced imo, I would try: http://www.swordsdirect.com/full-tang-swords.html.
Once you get one, here's a good site for katana maintenance: http://fulltangkatanas.com/
but what if i'm openly carrying it?
I have loved swords since I was kid but never found one that was 1) affordable and 2) usable until I saw this review.
I ordered the 3pc set from here http://www.trueswords.com/musashi-sx.html and for the price, I really like it.
but what if i'm openly carrying it?
