So I like guns and shiet and I'm happy with Texas gun laws, but I think it would be easier and more fun to carry around a sabre or other dueling sword in my car in case some bad guys come at me. If I get classes to train me to fence would it be

I carry an M1860 Cavalry Saber. Get some good classes and even a wristbreaker's fine.

Prove it faggot.
Cops would be onto you if they was someone with a bigass sword on their hip.

>>33965540
It would be perfectly viable, but only if you dressed like that.

Yikes walking around with a sword seems really autistic and I don't want to be socially unacceptable, what if there a qt3.14 out there n she's scared of my literal weaponized autism?
>>
>>33965540
Yes and yes, if you train properly.
HEMA has been booming these days.
I've been interested in German Longsword, but probably wouldn't carry one in my car.

>hoodlums

specialist in hoodrat combat tactics and training here:

unarmed niggers are either going to rapidly close with you to distances less than one meter in order to surround and limit your hand movements, or they're going to bust you in the head and run before you get the chance to draw. For both cases, you want a gun -- swords would be too cumbersome to draw.

The only thing I've seen swords used for IRL is intimidation. You draw it on the nigger pack before they close in for the kill, and you shout the nigrish territorial bellow "ya'llfukkin'widdawrongmufugga" that strikes fear into the african heart. It takes some time to get the call down just right, so maybe you could pick up a nigger call at cabelas or something.

Like what? Last time I checked, there was no sources for large two handed messers but one or two images. Langesmesser sure but kriegsmesser...?

Sword sticks or cane swords used to be considered the accepted self defense armament.

Just be sure to write the word "Sword" on the scabbard so nobody can claim that you're concealing what it is.
>>
>>33968006
You're completely right, I slipped here. I'm ofc talking about the Langesmesser. Thanks for correcting me.
>>
>>33965540
In your mind, carrying a sword would be easier than a pistol of some kind. Am I reading that right?

I mean, live your life as you see fit. I would look at you and just assume you were an absolutely insufferable waste of time. I would probably think no more of it than some NEET wearing a flat cap buying the boxed set of GuP at Walmart while talking to the cashier about how obscure it was.
But here's the thing. You don't need to care about my opinions.

>>33968036
Young men like each other in the streets over nonsense...yeah. I never understood why this was so romanticized. The wounds caused by smallsword or rapier tended to kill slowly. I have treated plenty of stab wounds. It is a graceless, inelegant scene.

>OP wants a sabre
>posts NOTASABRE as pic related
>wants to learn fucking fencing as self defense
Im an epeeist, and i can tell you that you're retarded if you think fencing is a legitimate form of self defence

You're better off with an arming sword desu

Honestly if you aren't living in Burgerland most thugs and mudslimes/shitskins on the street will carry a small flipknife at max.

A saber is far more effective than some shitty tazer or pepperspray if you are experienced with it and will definitely help you survive a knife attack. But let's be honest you will look like an autist and you will be fucked as soon as someone draws a handgun. A handgun is probably cheaper, easier to use and far more effective.
>>
>>33968091
Look in your pants.
>>
>>33968293
>t. never actually used a sabre
Unless you can consistently keep them ~3 feet away, it will NOT end well for you. Don't pretend you know shit when you don't.
>>
>>33968311
Actually. it's more like 1-5 feet depending on how good you're technique is. I've personally managed a 10 foot lunge and know people that have done better.

Some will think you're an easy target because you're developmentally disabled, and others will feel sorry for you and leave you alone because you look developmentally disabled.
>>
possibly the most autistic thing you could possibly do, OP

would you grow a neckbeard and wear a fedora and trenchcoat along with it? and become overweight?
>>
>>33968322
I mean sure, but you also have to remember that sabre as a sport doesnt translate perfectly into self defense. It won't be "you connected a circuit with my lame, so ill just die now", itll be more like "you gashed my shoulder/head/arm, but im still gonna gut you"
>>
>>33968456
true, but most thieves aren't in it for pride or glory, they're in it for a quick buck. Prove that you're not worth the trouble and they'll run off.

Then again, if your GF's father comes after you with an axe, I reccommend a good pair of running shoes.
>>
>>33965540
Yeah, I spent a day carrying a trash katana to my metalshop class with a buddy so we could "Fix" it, and we carried it across town, nobody will fuck with you OP. but not becuase they think you're legit, just because for whatever reason that shit aint worth it.

Could be because they think youre a weeaboo autismo to the max, and tehrefor not worth it, or because you're legit crazy enough to think a sword is handy, but it doesn't really matter
>>
>>33968366
No, I'm a lanklet, and quite happy with my shape. I thought that by carrying this I'd be away from the neckbeard stereotype since it's a western sword and not Eastern.
>>
>>33965540

Are you a moron?
>>
>>33968157
Oooh good idea thanks.
>>
>>33969075
Hey I'm only a moron if I actually go out of the house with my sword, I'm asking here bc this is the safe space
>>
>>33969212
Just keep in mind that it's technically a concealed weapon so try to make it obviously a sword cane.
>>
>I think it would be easier and more fun to carry around a sabre or other dueling sword in my car

It's legal to have loaded guns in your car in Texas, you goofy motherfucker.

That's a lot of yes. I guess I'll learn some classes, figure out a way to translate it to the real world. This is gonna be so cool
>>
>>33968231
Well it would be easier bc society places less responsibility on a sword wielding autist. And how is a fencing sword weeaboo?
>>
tfw its never going to be legal to carry a sword in Australia. even scissors are considered a weapon and you can only carry them with "justification"
>>
>>33968292
A foil is not a real sword, a smallsword is.
>>
>>33970316
Then claim you hurt your knee at the gym.
>>
>>33965577
All depends on the state and local laws, Anon.
>>
>>33970341
Focus on application and less on intimidation. Learn to counter smaller melee weapons and those of similar size. Pick up a good beater sword whilst you're learning, and don't go beyond $100 if you're after a beater.
>>
>>33968292
Many if not all masters said that actually, foil was the best introduction to fencing and that a sabreur that started with foil would typically be a better fencer than a sabreur who started and end with it.

Foil is just a training weapon and it's good for exactly that, training.
