Obviously gun blade.

Gunblades are fire arms so no go there.

Technically they're not. At least not the ones in FF8. :O

The "gun" part doesn't fire bullets, it just sends a shockwave through the blade when you strike so as to cause maximum damage and to make the enemy (hypothetically) explode into a bunch of red flesh. Either that or give them a severely fatal wound.

I was under the impression that most gunblades were a gun with a HUGE bayonet in the form of a sword

I'm pretty sure its legal to carry swords around as long as its sheathed and its not concealed.

I think the ones that were modified in the later FFs (like the FF7 spin-offs and such) are more like the ones you're thinking of, but FF8 (where the gunblade first showed up) is more of a sword with a gun component than the other way around.

In Final Fantasy VIII, all forms of gunblade consist of a sword blade with a gun action built into the hilt, the barrel running inside the length of the blade. They are mostly used like normal swords, but triggering a round sends a shock wave through the blade as the weapon passes through an opponent to increase damage.

Actually It's legal to carry swords as long as it's bound in cloth or in a bag Sheathed is actually not allowed.

Depends on state laws, in NY as long as you're sword is sheathed its fine. On the contrary, in Texas(Im pretty sure) its illegal to carry any weapon in public. Gun laws are extremely strict here in NYC, you cant own BB or airsoft guns. So it pretty much reflects on the severity of carrying anything in public that can obviously apply deadly force.

I would want a sword to carry around, that would be boss. If a Demon came out of know where i would be ready to fight and or kill it.

All jokes a side, the idea quite interesting but that would not happen =D

A robber comes in the store drawing a sword. (since gun laws are strict in this scenario only to see the shop keeper and every customer in the store draws their sword....
awkward...
the robber runs.

yeah but Cartridge System > gunblade. The difference is the cartridge system amplifies the overall "magic" (we know Nanoha magic is really just high-tech mecha) for a period of time. A gunblade relies on the force created by the moment of the trigger to increase damage. I suppose you could say gunblades are like the prototype to the Cartridge System.

sword umbrellas are just as dangerous as real swords!

Actually seen that a few times, a umbrella disguised as a katana. Awesome!

I think we should bring back the topic to allowing people to carry swords on person. @ airports they should have a sword locker for people when they board the plane =P. Now what should the age requirement be for a sword license?

Well, judging by my knowledge of RPGs, which seem to set the precedent for this sort of society...

sounds about right, but does that mean they get to carry swords to school? Or rather what would be required to obtain a sword license? Other than paying for the required sword insurance
