Question: are get back whips illegal in california?
Answer: (See below) The metal clip at the end of the removable getback whips make the whip a slungshot and it is therefore illegal. ... A slung shot has been defined as "a weight, as a stone or a piece of metal, fastened to a short strap, chain, or the like, and used as a weapon and is prohibited by California Penal Code §12020."
