AIBU to DH?

DH wants to bring home a fucking sword offered to him by someone he just met, and is begging me like a child in a fucking toy shop.
I'm at my wits end with this childlike attitude to swords, gaming, late nights etc. He's a normal-functioning human adult most of the time, with bouts of teenager-like impulsiveness.
IABU about bringing a unknown sword off a random unknown person into a house with young children.
Someone tell me if I'm just being an annoying nagging wife as the sulk seems to suggest?

1- Why would someone he just met, give him a sword?
2- why would he need a sword?
3- not on my life if I was you with children in the house. How tempting is that for them to find and play with?
4- I’d still be really concerned about point 1.

Missed one:-

5- I would be really worried that it had been involved in a crime.

Well no. 5 above answers no. 1!

No way would I say yes!

An ornate samari sword tastefully displayed up high can look nice if in keeping with the rest of the room, not my thing but some people like. Dangerous so never to be brought down or played with and when there are children in the house should be secured so they can't access.

Any other reason, would probably be a no from me. What type of sword is it and what does he plan to do with it?

Exactly! It's utterly ridiculous that anyone would even consider accepting it. This is what I mean with impulsive behaviour. Just calls me up to tell me excitedly he's getting a sword. But I'm the bad guy for saying no. 🙄 I'm not married to a teenager, he's 40+
