The Right to Bear Arms... In Russia

Gosh I love public transportation. It keeps my life from getting boring.

I was wrestling the crowd into the metro when a man standing by a pillar caught my attention. I did a double take at what he had in his hand. 'Twas a sword. I kid you not. It was sheathed, mind you, but a sword nonetheless. Being the length of his leg (and he wasn't exactly a short man), he had the tip on the floor as if it were a cane. No one else seemed the least bit fazed. Um. Hello? There is a man standing nonchalantly in our midst with a sword. Not even concealed. Not that he could have concealed it even if he wanted to due to the size. I can only imagine what would happen to someone in the US standing in a subway station with such a trinket. Oh my. Does that fall under the right to bear arms? I have no idea.

I'm not sayin'; I'm just sayin'.
