If I put a sword, wrapped in a towel, in my car will it rust over time?

A sword in a car? Why not a morning-star, to make it really impractical?

[Asker]

Please, no jokes. I can’t carry a pistol so it’s my only option.

[DryGermanGuy]

It's a bullshit idea, plain and simple. Carry a pepper spray, if that makes you feel safer.

Why keep it in your car? If you get pulled over you'll have trouble explaining it

[Anonymous]

If it is really humid it will. Also depends on material.

[Agape93]

If it's carbon steel or iron, yes.

[Asker]

It’s carbon, but it’s also blued and has Renaissance wax on it which creates a hardened shell on it. However, nothing is full proof I guess. I’ll have to take my chances. It’s for self defense.

[Asker]

Oh and thank you for your answer.

[Agape93]

If you're in America and using a sword for defense, wrapped in a towel inside a car, you're going to die.

[Asker]

Well, at least I would die fighting.

[Agape93]

If you can even manage to get the sword free

[Asker]

What do you mean “get the sword free”?

[Agape93]

... of the car and towel

[jahaims]

You are at least 25 and dont understand why metal rusts?

[Asker]

I know what makes it rust. My question was about a specific type of metal and it staying in a certain condition for years. I’m not an idiot.

A towel isn’t air tight so yeah. It will rust

[Asker]

You’re right, thanks. Should I learn to fight with it even though absolutely no one carries or uses one? Is skill necessary? It’s for self defense since I can’t carry a pistol.

I don’t really care

[Asker]

Wow, you’re a lot of help. Don’t reply if you aren’t going to be of help.

[Opinion Owner]

Bitch

If moisture gets in. I say yes.
