A hard plastic baton would get through security in places a knife would not.
who makes an extendable hard plastic baton?
Where are you going to be that carry of a knife is disallowed, but a baton would be overlooked??
I carry an asp around and no one bats an eye..... been pulled over with it to... no cop has ever said a word
or, for that matter, nonexpandable batons.
I believe any citizen should be able to carry any weapon they wish. That said a expandable baton screams police. This is about avoiding the appearance of evil. A sturdy pen in the eye like the Zebra 701 which you can carry anywhere..even in your hand, will stop a fight as fast as an ASP, and you will not hesitate to use it like a prohibited weapon.- Just my $.02- George
Don't leave home without it.I think Mercop's idea of a "defensive pen" is a darn good one.
