Depends on the state. IIRC, in Illinois it’s legal to carry a sword as long as there isn’t criminal intent. (Committing a crime with a sword is apparently prima facie evidence that you had criminal intent.)
A long sword likely isn’t very practical though. I’d suggest an arming sword or a rapier. Both of them are more effective in close quarters.
Since September 1, 2017, Texans over the age of 18 have been allowed to carry knives, spears, sabers, machetes, and swords in most places statewide. H.B. 1935 (Texas Knife Law Reform Bill) eliminated ownership and restrictions on knives with blades longer than 5.5 inches, including daggers, double-edged knives, swords, dirks, poniards, dirks, stilettos, and Bowie knives.
