I'd say the only possible weapons would be Crocea Mors, Storm Flower, Melodic Cudgel, and MAYBE, MAYBE Wilt and Blush. But I would point out the following: Crocea Mors would be very fragile as a shield and would dull the blade ever draw or sheathing. Storm Flower WOULD work to some extent, but you run into the legal issue of making custom automatic guns (semi auto, on the other hand....) Melodic Cudgel.... yeah sure. That's pretty basic. It's a cane that fires a .25mm flare, you could make it pretty easy and it's not legally considered a firearm in most places. The little reticule MIGHT be an issue, but you could just add on iron sights or night sights to the "barrel" and it would work fine.

Now, wilt and blush would need some.... modification. It WOULD be possible to make a double action Mare's Leg/Ranch Hand rifle and incoporate a sheath for a sword into it, along with some form of locking mechanism to hold the blade in. That said, you run into the issue of weight, how you'd grip it, and the legal issues as to if the mare's leg is a handgun or a short barreled rifle. If it's the former, you're good to go almost anywhere as long as you follow local laws. If it's the latter..... you're pretty well screwed almost everywhere. Also bear in mind that the recoil on that sucker is gonna be HORRENDOUS and thus you'd want a sheath made of something fairly tough, I'd recommend titanium or the polymer used in Glock firearms for weight and durability.
