    When it comes to life or death self defense, I see no reason not to use the most effective and deadliest weapon available. If that happens to be a katana, fine. Most people would probably choose a gun, but guns aren't necessarily the best solution for every situation.

    I would be vehemently opposed to drawing a katana, or any other deadly weapon, in any situation short of desperate defense of life and limb. The moment the weapon leaves the home, you're asking for trouble. Using deadly force against an intruder in your home is one thing. Using it on the street is quite another and will more than likely land you in prison, or worse.

    'intent' is also a crime.

    I agree. Carrying it about is asking for trouble.mainly form the police. BUt if i had one next to me i would use it but only in a life or death situation. NOthing else (unless threatining famiily/friends with hostile action when they are in my house at 3 in the morning.):)
