Errmmm... the whole point of swords IRL was that they were super convenient for civilians to carry around for self-defence (compared to bows, pikes etc that are much more useful in an actual battle), so pretty much everyone that could afford one had one *and* carried it around most of the time. So this whole, 'helpless civilian' thing might happen in the Shire, but almost certainly not in Gondor or other mannish kingdoms and absolutely not in dwarven or elven lands.

Also I'm not sure unbalancing the alignment gained vs alignment lost is a good idea. Definitely not +0.1 to -1. Maybe +0.6 to -1 could work.
