There is plenty of case law that has ruled that you can not carry a baton.AustinMRH wrote:Steve's post above says all that needs to be said. Until somebody comes along and provides some nice case law for me to base baton carry on, I'll leave the ASP at home.
I'm still carrying my bamboo stick for night time trail running.

Re: Collapsable Baton?
IANAL, but I think that this is what is called a "false edge" and is legal. I feel your pain about us "legals" following the law and the BGs don't care.The blade is less than the 5.5 inches as stated in the penal code, BUT part of the tip is semi-sharpened upon the back side. Does this make it double edge?

Re: Collapsable Baton?
I find it amusing that when some people get a permit to carry a handgun, they start asking questions about carrying batons, clubs, blackjacks, switchblades and handcuffs.
