Long blades are forbidden in Mexico, they are considered white weapons.

You can have them at home but not carry them with you.

I've been puzzling over that first sentence...WTF is a 'white weapon', forgoing the too obvious racial joke...?

There are fire weapons and white weapons.

Guns, shotguns, machineguns and such are fire weapons. Knives, blades, daggers, bows/arrows, etc. are considered white weapons.

Why do they call them white, is beyond me, but I think that's the official term in spanish to designate such weapons.

They call them Blanco?

Wouldn't that also denote a certain non-dangerous thing? I'm sure that's more the intent than to label them a color.

Armas blancas. Yeah, it denotes a not-so-dangerous thing, it is a weapon but not a way too dangerous one.

Everyone that keeps "defensive weapons
around the home just in case raise their hands.

Not where I'm living Gato! Hey, we can always try changing that though!
