Topic...I've wanted nunchucks all my life and I'm just starting to look into it. Are they illegal to have? Obviously, you can't use them as a weapon unless forced into self-defense but I don't know anything about it. Where would you buy real nunchucks (non foam)? I've checked ebay and all I can find are foam practice ones. Anyone have knowledge about nunchucks?

They are available but you could be breaking the law depending on which state you live in. I found a web site that sells them (they also sell switchblades) but it's up to you to find out what your restrictions are.
Here is one example:

They probably won't ship to a restricted state.

Nunchucks are not illegal to own, buy, or sell. They were originally used as farming equipment. During the Japanese occupation of Okninawa, all weapons were banned amongst the Okinawan people, so the martial artists of Okinawa starting using farm equipment as weapons. Nunchuks were originally used to thresh wheat. They should be fairly easy to obtain. You can roder them over the internet. Some flea markets have them. Just google the search term "buy nunchucks."

No, they're not illegal to own.
