R.V. v. State

FERGUSON, Judge.

We agree with the trial court’s factual determination that a nunchaku (“num-chucks”), a potentially .lethal device which originated from the martial arts, is a deadly weapon. Unlike other common objects which may be deadly only because of their use or threatened use, the sole modern use of a nunchaku is to cause great bodily harm.1 Appellants, who carried the nun-chaku on their persons in a concealed manner, were properly adjudicated delinquent for carrying a concealed weapon. See *913C.J.R. v. State, 429 So.2d 753 (Fla. 1st DCA), review denied, 440 So.2d 351 (Fla.1983).
