Batons Legal?

[Dave_L]

All I know is I'm a huge Rockies fan and love those novelty baseball bats.

Based on the description, a collapsible baton does not meet the literal definition of a blackjack...but I'm also not a lawyer.

This is a blackjack;

No, THIS is a blackjack


Or perhaps this:

Sadly to say after that photo was taken it was cut up, melted and forged into a bar that helps baby seats be more stable.

I bought a tire checker from a truck stop just before driving through Illinois.

IF someone just want to have a baton to play with, get those heavy Chinese made baton at a surplus store. Those are actually stronger than ASP.
IF someone is gonna carry a baton for over 10hr/day on a duty belt, ASP is way to go. ASP be probably 1/3 weight of those cheap batons.

Never been a fan of the collapsible batons. I prefer a nice solid piece of hickory or koka bola wood. Sure, it's heavier and not as compact, but seems to be more of a "show stopper" than the ASP friction-lock collapsible batons. Monadnock makes a positive-lock collapsible baton that I think is pretty sweet. Still prefer the straight baton though.

We had a Denver cop friend that whipped out his collapsible baton once and laid it on the table. Thing was so bent in the middle it wouldn't even roll over.
