I was thinking more about the LE not havingcurrent authority.
Of course, the part about the various meanings of the word dirk seems to cover it. One of the tidbits on Wikipedia is that some Irish dirks were 21" long. I think the enforcement people would be happy to use that information to declare a sword cane a "like kind" to a dirk.

SNIP As for illegally disarmed or turned away. Maybe,but they have banned unlicensed carry without a challenge or having to pass a law, whats to stop them from banning swords? Another issue that has been brought up is if a sword cane is covered under 18.2-308. It could be considered a dirk, which is a dagger but also a short naval sword.
