Asp/side handle baton question

[Pip Logan]

What if any laws are there about owning asp and side handle batons? I have recently moved here.

I'm not aware of any laws against it. I carry a collapsable baton in the map well of my driver's side door.

Now, Chinese throwing stars are another thing entirely (for now).

Thanks Guy.

There doesn't appear to be any prohibition in the IC about side handled batons. I, too, carry an extendable Monadnock baton.

Make sure that you are versed in its' use. Hits to certain spots can be termed as deadly force. If you can take a class, do so.

No harm was intended, I use to carry one but it too a lot of practice to do all of the little things it was capable of. I carry an "Asp" in my car and have a collector "slapper". I don't use it any more. I was hit with one on the arm and it made me a believer.

Thanks man. Didnt mean to get all antsy lol its been a long day :-)

I like my mag light. It works wonders.

Mag Light works well too.

It sucks as a light though.
The best option for me is to get a small flashlight and a ASP baton.

I have about three lights in my car. I have a small rechargable "surefire" and then my mag light. I also have an extra just in case.

Wife gets annoyed at me: "How many flashlights do you need?"

Well I have my main torch (sorry, flashlight), the backup, the backup to my backup... etc. etc.

I'm a flashlight freak.

ps: Carry an ASP too but hate the fact I have to find some concrete to collapse it. Monodnock all the way next time.

Mine ask me the same thing until the lights go out.

I thought any hard surface will do it, not just concrete

I hope they're not illegal. I have a house full of tonfa I'd have to get rid of and my sensei's gonna be annoyed if I can't do my kata!

Well something hard enough not to damage... don't recommend using tile or wood floor :P
