I don't think a lightsaber alone is such a huge deal but to go out in full costume might be a bit much. Although there are plenty of trekkies who do.
Just don't do it in Walmart. You might find yourself in People of Walmart.

Absolutely. When I finished my first saber it became a part of the "uniform". These things represent a tremendous amount of study, practice, general skill and experience, as well as a physical representation of a philosophical stance. When others see me wearing my saber, many are at first confused, but some get the message pretty quickly. One man pointed, wide-eyed, and exclaimed "That's from Star Wars!". We proceeded to have a 20 minute conversation about how the saber was built. Awesome.
But, yes, I wear my saber everywhere. I proudly display it because it is a part of who I am. I'm glad I have had the opportunity to make something like this.
I'd would wear my costume out in the public, but alas it is not done. But I would like to wear it to the grocery store and buy groceries.

I wear mine daily
I used to wear my sabers around but my wife put an end to that but I would wear my Hasbro obi Ep1 saber without blade and it would hang off a screw I put in it and a belt hook I made out of a metal hanger. I used to wear my Ep3 obi Hasbro saber on a cellphone belt clip I also used to leabe the batterys in for weight =) I also used to wear my Ep6 Luke MRFX saber around but I got sick of the weight of it and always stoping it from hitting a car or a window or something.
if you want to wear a lightsaber around then go for it I don't see a reason not to.... as long as the wife dosent mind =)
My wife does care about a lot of things that I do but wearing a Lightsaber on my belt is NOT one of them! I guess I have it good in that respect!
This is a cool idea, maybe one of these days I might go out with my saber clipped to my belt. I'm not shy and the dirty looks or comments would probably be nonexistent.
