    Late in the day one of the organizers asked me to tuck my sgian dubh into my hose as they have a no visible blades policy. I took it out and put it in my sporran.

    Were they selling Athames? Seems counter-intuitive.

    There was a vendor selling all sorts of bladed things. It was explained that they did not want people buying swords etc. then walking around swinging them wildly, somehow my wee sgian dubh would presumably incite such actions in others. The way I see it it was their party and their rules, so I put it away.

    Like at super walmarts, where they have "no firearms in the liquor store" signs in the beer aisle, about 15 aisles from the hunting/rifle section. That bothers me at times...
