NEW YORK - A man reporting for jury duty was arrested when security discovered that his cane concealed a 2 1/2-foot sword and a 6-inch dagger, police said.
The cane "attracted attention because of the way it looked," said Maj. Luz Bryan, commander of courthouse police. "It had two metal bands. It's an indication that something is concealed. My officers noticed it right away."

New York state law prohibits concealed blades or knives.

"He kept saying that he didn't know it was illegal," Bryan said.

Lisetskiy was charged with misdemeanor criminal possession of a weapon.

This is why it's important to know the laws in your state or to states your traveling through ,ignorance isn't a defense

I have a friend that carried a sword as party of his halloween costume to a party. Nothing happened and he wasn't busted but I made sure he got educated from that point on :)
