Lebanon
They are legal In Lebanon under these conditions: - only the foam and chrome Nunchaku are allowed. - a Nunchaku player ID from an official martial arts club. - a Nunchaku player ID from an official Nunchaku federation like LNF, FINCA and WNA. - you have to carry your Nunchaku in a Nunchaku case with a zip. - you can’t hold the Nunchaku in professional instructor. and lately the police started asking about the International Sportive Nunchaku passport. If you are stopped by the police and you missed any of the above you will be asked to hide the Nunchaku. Adham Affara (Lebanon Nunchaku Champion) has been instrumental in getting the authorities to change their attitude towards the Nunchaku.

Well polish right is very - heh - strange. About Nunchaku law says that it is not a safe weapon and treated as a firearm. But you can get permit if you are 21-years-old and not have a criminal record. If you use weapon for sports, educational or recreation, permit on weapon is not required - but I haven't checked it in real life. There is funny case with definition what Nunchaku is - because it doesn't exist or I have not found it in Poland. Also there is funny case with swords, axes etc. They isn't any mention put in act. They are legal! :-) the Netherlands
Germany
I live in Germany and here the nunchucks are strictly forbidden. It is possible to get firearms under certain circumstances but it is not possible to buy or own a nunchuck legally! An exception is the foam-nunchaku. But since a new weapon law was published it's no more clear if nunchucks made of foam are forbidden or not. I am still waiting for news from the court (Verwaltungsgericht Wiesbaden / Germany). Meanwhile I started a petition to increase pressure on our government to (re-)legalize nunchucks, which are strictly forbidden in Germany since 1971. Criminal statistics show a massive use of knives, baseball bats and machine pistols for criminal action. I did not find a nunchuck used for criminal purposes in these statistics.
