    Legally purchase nunchaku in CA?
    Hello,
    I have a question about California Penal Code 12020. It states
    That the sale or possession of nunchaku is illegal in
    CA except when sold to or possessed on the premises of
    A "school which holds a regulatory or business license
    and teaches the arts of self-defense."

    I would like to know how, under these circumstances,
    The head instructor of such a school would go about
    Obtaining nunchaku for use in the school. Do you need to apply for a license
    In order for a dealer to be able to sell/ship them to you?

    Thank you

    Gee, all I know is that is a pretty lethal weapon, no wonder it is subject to regulations!

    Hello d:

    If you've recited the law correctly, and it's your school, you need to license it like you would ANY business. I can't tell you how to do that, but there are local agencies that can help, or you can hire a CPA who knows what licenses you require. Once you've done that, you meet the criteria the law specifies.

    Therefore, you can legally buy the nun things. I doubt very seriously that a dealer will ask you whether you are properly licensed. I'm sure he'll just sell them to you.
