expandable Batons

[Bob45]

are these legal? Ive heard it both ways. Is it a state law to allow or deny them? How about Ohio and Kentucky?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

No, they are not illegal (unless see infra Post 10), now who are you talking to?

 

[GBuck]

Who are you talking to?

This is Kirk's exasperated lawyer way of saying, no they're not illegal.

 

[jeremy]

Make sure you are trained in how to use them...
Or you may end up finding out it feels to be on the receiving end of a Baton...

i thought the thread title said "expEndable batons"...i was like ..."tree branches?"

Did you ever get a straight answer to this question Bob ? I have also wondered if they were legal. And in case you were wondering Mr Grandmaster, I don"t know who I am talking to,just that his name is Bob.

Not really sure why you put the stuff from an email you recieved in here, but, his question was answered. Also, Kirk wasn't asking you who you were talking to, nor was he asking who specifically bob was talking to in this thread. He was asking who told him that it was illegal to carry a baton.

My thought on this is, as long as you're not whoopin' anyone with it or
swingin' it around like a cartoon london bobby, no one cares if you have one.

The law is likely silent, let's keep it that way.

It is not illegal to carry any sort of baton, billy club, club, big ol' club, stick, inter alia in Indiana under the Indiana Code. It is in Texas.

NOTE: it was be prohibited by court order (ruling, probation, protective order, contempt of court, etc.) OR there may be a city ordinance.

I wanted to know who told him this as:

1. To ensure we correct the source who is putting the false info into the stream of gun nuttery.

2. If it is someone in Texas, rhino owes me ammo.

I am somewhat baffled by this post. Also a little baffled by some of the responses. The op asked a simple question.

The simple question was given a simple answer in post #3.

 

[Disposable Heart]

Cursory fun, I asked an Avon cop this exact question and he said only "We" get to carry them. I said, 'whatever' and he asked me if I wanted a free demonstration of the baton. Some cops say alot of stupid **** just to justify themselves I think...

As stated earlier, get proper training on how to use them. A longer item, like a baton, bat or truncheon can be quickly used against you or be remarkably useless in certain situations. Proper training, combatives, not hit a tree in your backyard for 10 minutes, then watch a Jet Li movie.

I carry either a decent blade or an ASP with me when I run. Knees, face, joint hits makes a jerk go down. But it's long and can be subdued quick. Quick, hard then retrative strikes. Akin to pulling a gun on someone no more than feet away, you want to keep your distance so you don't end up with it shoved up your exhaust pipe. When practicing, I find myself backing up alot, trying to get room. Depending on what you are doing with it, may not be ideal.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

The simple question was given a simple answer in post #3.

And we answered it.

Perhaps I should amend my answer in #2 "No, now who told you this?"

I shall do so.

Thank you. Clearly, your sarcasm wasn't understood and my answer had too many big words.

 

[Bob45]

Thank You. Thats clears it up

"No, now who are you talking to?"

Not to stir this up but know I am really confused. The op asked if these are legal. Kirk, your answer is no as you amended your post, that they are not legal. The big words are not confusing me just the little ones.

Edit: I see you cleared this up in later posts but the answer in the second post with all due respect sir is incorrect.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Mother of Pearl.

*sigh*

No *&^*%$* they are NOT illegal.

OK, did I answer it now. Geez, you guys.

 

[jeremy]

How so exactly is it incorrect?!

Make sure that you receive some type of training. Strikes in certain areas can be determined as lethal force.
