Question: Is it illegal to own or possess a malee weapon, such as a sword or kendo stick?
Answer: Laws vary from state to state concerning these weapons. For example, in Michigan, there appears to be no law against owning these weapons, but there are various laws preventing a person from carrying them as weapons. MCL 764.1.f states that a juvenile cannot carry or possess a club or any object likely to cause death when used as a weapon (MCL 764.1.f). Both a sword and kendo stick could logically be considered to be objects that could cause death. If a minor in Michigan were found to be carrying a sword or kendo stick, he or she would probably be presumed to be carrying it as a weapon until proven otherwise.

A "Kendo Stick" is a solid piece of oak in the shape of a sword....I should know i own one. A Shini is what you were talking about....a bamboo stick made to not hurt. Kendo's hurt like all hell, and if you hit someone in the head with one hard enough you can kill him.

umm.. a "kendo stick" cannot be used to kill. It is designed to not hurt - it is hard to even inflict a large bruise with it. it is made of springy bamboo pieces that are tied togeher. when used to hit, it gives way and, is therefore safe. it is not the same thing as a baseball bat. .. hahh...

I believe all females should carry some sort of protection on them if they live in a big town or a place that is un-trustworthy at night or any time during the day. All women should learn self-defence.
