There's been a few since around the time the artwork changed drastically (around 1400?). Here is one of the register (mostly a side view) in the 1500's.

I wonder what happens if Faye does move out.
Oh hey, maybe Claire is looking for a place?
(Because hell knows Marten hasn't had enough room-mate UST in his life yet.)

Even if sheathed?

In Australia at least, even with unsharpened edges, sheathed, and in a bag. Australian taijiquan and other martial-arts groups have been trying to get this sorted out for years. Basically, it is down to the judgement of the individual police officers you happen to bump into, so it is best to carry your sword in a bag that conceals its shape.

So... Olympic 50m pistol is out? Clay pigeon shooting? Biathlon? The sort of shooting contest depicted in Magnum Force (I don't know what it would properly be called)? Don't you and your shooting-buddies compete for scores, or who can shoot the smallest group, or whatever? How do you train in any martial art, armed or weaponless, without making it essentially a game? You can't actually deliver lethal strokes on the practice mat, so the process becomes a competition for touches or points. On the other hand, for example, many traditional shifu do take a dim view of competition styles which are pretty much wholly divorced from martial training, no matter how skilled the practitioners (and Chai Fong Ying is very very good)..
What on earth is Faye wearing? Is this actually a style in the USA? The colour is good for her, but... It also seems to be "wear white belts to work day", and white belts are naff IMHO, but YMMV of course.

The dress Faye is wearing is mid-20th Century US Waitress. I suspect she found it in the local thrift shop.
