Car???
That looks correct; any consensus on that?
That would be great for the car. Keep a stock cane there now.
(I certainly have batons at home. Doesn't everyone?)

Re: Collapsable Baton?
It is a §46.02 (Unlawful Carrying Weapons) violation rather than a §46.05 (Prohibited Weapons) violation, so a baton is legal to carry on premises under your control or in your vehicle. Legally you can think of them as analogous to an "illegal knife," or a handgun if you don't have a CHL--it is fine to own a it, but you better not be caught carrying it in public.The Annoyed Man wrote:Does the illegality of collapsible batons extend to one's private property? 9mmfan hypothesizes carrying one behind the bar he owns. Would it be illegal to have and use one inside the confines of your home against an intruder? Or do you HAVE to just shoot him?
