Batons and sticks are generally legal to possess, except in California, where they are not legal for civilians. Checking your state`s laws for using and wearing batons is always a good idea and your main task. If you`re allowed to carry a baton or just want to keep one in your home as less than a deadly self-defense alternative, here are some more important aspects to keep in mind. Yes, you can legally wear a foldable baton in most states. California is the only state where it is illegal to own and transport extendable batons. In Massachusetts, New York and Washington D.C., batons are legal at home, but illegal to wear outside, open or hidden. Again, know your laws and your ability to use your stick effectively and safely.

Good luck and stay safe! An advance in stick technology that helps in terms of retention is the advent of extendable sticks. A steel rod that expands and deviates requires the tip of the stick to be much smaller than the handle, and of course, a smaller diameter is much harder to grasp and hold than a wider diameter. Therefore, using an extendable stick, like this ASP stick, is a good choice. Your opponent should literally grab the handle your hand in to have a good chance of stealing the weapon.
Without CWFL, you can still carry a chemical self-defense spray with less than two ounces of chemical or a non-lethal electric weapon designed for legal self-defense purposes in a hidden way. Also keep in mind that it is illegal to hide the carrying of weapons without a concealed carrying permit. You must carry your non-lethal self-defense weapon openly if you do not have a CWFL. As mentioned earlier, chemical sprays and tasers are the only exceptions. Otherwise, you wear it illegally. Jay is an experienced and dedicated defense attorney in Orlando.
