Would a sword make a good option for HD if effective firearms are not available? What types would be most effective and what training should one undertake?
I am guessing a quite short sword would be most effective, meaning kukris, gladii, European medieval short swords, smallswords, cutlasses, Filipino swords etc. As for training, maybe Kali? I doubt classical fencing would be of much use...
Also, are there places that allow open carrying of swords (and don't give you hassles)? I must say, it would look both silly and cool at the same time
I'd also be grateful for some good manufacturer names I can look up. I know Cold Steel makes swords, are they any good?
