to loss of weapon and/or prosecution by authorities. All
patrons must be at least 18 years old to carry a weapon on festival site. Weapons will not be sold to anyone under the age of 18. This policy applies to anyone carrying a weapon with them
or having purchased a weapon while at the
festival.
Definitions:
Sheath: a protective covering, usually of thick leather that protects the edge of the blade,
the wearer and anyone near them from damage. The
sheath must cover the entire blade, not just the
tip.
Peace-tied: the method of securing a weapon to the sheath, belt or body
of the wearer. If the weapon
is not peace-tied upon arrival at the festival you will not be allowed to bring it in. |
