Virginia is for lovers, not swordsmen.


Apparently in Virginia, it is perfectly legal to carry a gun past the metal detector set up at the entrance to that state's Capitol but they draw the line at swords.

A man dressed like an 1880's sheriff and appropriately named for the 11th Chief Justice of the United States (pictured), apparently wanted to discuss changes in the Old Dominion's concealed weapon law with some legislators. He advised the Capitol Police at the door that he had a sword concealed in his cane and was forced to leave it behind although he apparently could have brought a gun into the building. I guess the last guy they let carry a sword into the Virginia Capitol was Robert E. Lee.
