- fake stuff

- legalities of real swords

Many cons require that you not even use the real thing, rather, the fake stuff. You will often hear something called peace-bonding. By that, it means that the sword/knife is sheathed and held in place by a strap. It must not come out easily on its own nor be pulled out easily.

Guns must *NOT* be the real thing. They must have something indicating that they are fake, and not firing actual rounds/projectiles. A brightly colored cap at the end of the barrel or a brightly colored non-black weapon is a good way to keep the police from shooting you when you’re the first to draw the fake weapon.
