1Opinion of the Court

THOMPSON, C.J.,

R.R., a child appeals from an order withholding adjudication of delinquency for carrying a concealed weapon.1 R.R. contends that the trial court erred when it denied his motion to dismiss after the state rested its case. R.R. argues that a straight-edged razor, which measures seven inches in the closed position, with a two-inch blade, is not a weapon because it is not listed as a weapon in the statute. Moreover, R.R. states that there was no testimony presented that the razor had been used in a threatening or dangerous manner. We affirm the conviction.
