Simply, don't bring any kind of weapon to a convention and you'll be fine.Of the conventions that I have been to the guidelines that I remember:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Anything looking remotely like a firearm is out.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Any sharpened metal archaic weapon is out.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Most unsharpened metal weapons are out.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Most wooden clubs and staffs are out.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">But, sometimes staves under 5' are okay.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Plastic weapons, particularly those that are obviously fake when you get close, are okay.</li> </ul>Since it is a costume contest, and I have seen some pretty impressive Link costumes (Legend of Zelda) complete with swords, it really depends. There will be guidelines and policies, you just have to find them.Oh, wait, just read your post with improved comprehension. I'm sure you can contact someone there to get their policy. Admittedly, I couldn't find it on their site after a quick scan.</blockquote>
