Yes, to your question, as long as it is in plain sight. I walked around for an entire week wearing my wakizashi, just to verify that the law was valid. Asked a couple of times by officers why I was sporting a blade to which I answered it was a dangerous area. And I am provided the right to do so by law. A comment of use with consideration was received and they moved on.
BTW, pro open carry, I'll gladly be the initial target in a situation that endangers anyone. And be willing to use it if the situation arose and I felt it necessary.
