I won't say illegal...but you can gaurantee that the store manager will ask you to leave...and they have the right to do so.

I'd love that idea but I don't think the general public would see it as I do. You'd need to sheath your sword and claymores usually don't have a sheath. They were meant to take the legs out from under horses and that's why they are so long. I own 2 of them and about 48 other swords. You'd be better off with a one handed sword from the English days of old. They had sheaths and they would go much better than a claymore sense the Scottish didn't have plate mail.

HAHAHA !!
Well, it would depend on the STATE the Wal-Mart is in !! Though the STORE can also refuse service.
The ARMOR shouldn't cause a problem as long as your face-shield is up... down it might be considered a "mask" and therefore illegal.
The Claymore would probably be a problem... California doesn't permit any stabbing weapon or edged weapon over 2-3 inches in length (PC 653K, PC 12020(24))

it's funny you should mention this. this exact thing (minus the armor) happened at my local walmart in cape girardeau, mo a few years ago. a guy went in and starting swinging a sword around. it freaked people out and was viewed as an act of aggression.
probably not the wisest thing to do.

The Armour is completely OK, however wielding a sword in public is probably not a very bright idea.

Armor , whatever . .
Sword , fake . . . Whatever . . .
Sword , real . . . that is a weapon and there are laws against carrying / brandishing weapons . . .
Of course , then you should not mind if the SWAT team uses you for target practice ,
Just for the fun of it , of course .

they may have a problem with the sword, but the armor should be ok.

Wierd...they would probably take the sword because they wouldnt want to bother with taking it off of you later

The armor is probably ok, but I doubt they'd allow the weapon.

It is probably legal but would be hot & uncomfortable...
If you want attention, just wear a big dunce cap...
