The Nunchaku and Georgia School Weapon Laws

A nunchaku is a martial arts weapon consisting of two metal or wooden sticks connected by a chain or rope. Many people do not realize that this old silly little weapon is actually illegal in some states and in many parts of the world. Surprisingly the weapon is incredibly deadly even when it is not wielded by someone with professional proficiency and because of this is often times illegal even to own within your home. In Georgia however this is not the case.
It does however fall under a very detailed law that governs what cannot be brought on a school campus:

...any pistol, revolver, or any weapon designed or intended to propel a missile of any kind, or any dirk, bowie knife, switchblade knife, ballistic knife, any other knife having a blade of three or more inches, straight-edge razor, razor blade, spring stick, metal knuckles, blackjack, any bat, club, or other bludgeon-type weapon, or any flailing instrument consisting of two or more rigid parts connected in such a manner as to allow them to swing freely, which may be known as a nun chahka, nun chuck, nunchaku, shuriken, or fighting chain, or any disc, of whatever configuration, having at least two points or pointed blades which is designed to be thrown or propelled and which may be known as a throwing star or oriental dart, or any weapon of like kind, and any stun gun or taser (Code 1-33).

It also goes on to mention that the only instances in which all states allow weapons and firearms on school property are when individuals are authorized to do so; for example, school police officers may be armed and teachers having instructional purposes.

I'm really not sure if there has ever been a case of a child attacking another student with a nunchaku on a Georgia school campus before but I guess better safe then sorry.
