Are kubotans illegal in North Carolina?

Answer 1

Well, honey, kubotans are considered a weapon in North Carolina, so it's a bit of a gray area. Technically, they're not explicitly mentioned in the law, but if you're caught using one in a harmful way, you could get yourself in a heap of trouble. So, my advice? Maybe stick to using that sharp wit of yours instead.

Answer 2

No. There is nothing in NC law which prohibits them. NC does have a law prohibiting the carrying or brandishing of "unusual" weapons, which a kubotan may be considered as such. Unfortunately, the law is a bit vague in that regard, and can be interpreted in a number of ways.
