    I bought one of those telescoping batons. I call it my "Antifa Special." It rides in the storage tray of the driver's door in my truck. I got it thinking that it may be useful if I was ever surrounded by a pack of fascist, violent Antifa types.


    Antifa and a fascism are mutually exclusive. You can be one or the other, not both.

    So, you were PLANNING to beat people with a METAL BATON ???
    When did your PREMEDITATION of this heinous act begin???



    Since there are some jurisdictions that place all kind of limits on possessing- much less USING one of those, I studiously avoid them.


    Say- did I show you the nifty mag lite I got? Real bright- 5 D cells. And durable. I betcha dropping one of those won't break it. Rides in the map pocket on the door of my truck. Real handy if I need it.... to read a map, of course.

    I purchased a telescoping many years ago while I was in the Czech Republic. This is a top quality baton and not a piece of ChiCom junk:

    Once I got it home, it turned out that these gizmos are illegal in something like 23 states, including CA, where I used to live. In fact, in a few jurisdictions you'd be better off having them catch you with a concealed handgun rather than a baton! These batons are legal in Florida, but since I can drive around in Florida with a handgun in the center console of my car without having a permit, I didn't need to be a genius (or a doctor [;)]) to figure out which of the two was the better option.

    If you ever have the need to use it, a large wrench would be way easier to explain in court than a baton that has no purpose than to hit people.

    Yeah, a 24 inch socket extension is legal everywhere. Once upon a millennium that was my SHTF "baton".[8D]

    Kristov- "Antifa" seeks to impose it's political will on people through intimidation and force. They are fascists. They dress like Nazis and act like them. They ARE fascists. Radical communists (such as fascists) always accuse others of doing what they themselves are doing. Hence Antiofa's "anti fascist" claims when they are in fact fascists.

    Baton or pepper spray may keep you from having to use a firearm.

    my oldest son travels a lot with out a firearm but he does have a 5 cell mag light .
    few months back showed me a "new flashlight " that may be riding the line a bit it almost looks like a small base ball bat and heavy with a light built in [:0]
    but as stated some ares using a baton or club or what ever you may want to call them would just get the owner in trouble with the local courts after he beats the heck out of the bag guy (s) [:D] but at least he will be able to go to court .
    I have been told a lot of "bikers" carry a wrench tied to a bandanna as a multi use tool [:D]

    Against the law in some states, NM being one. AZ has strange laws concerning clubs also. Strange laws on the books everywhere.

    I don't even carry an expandable baton on my belt anymore. Juat asking for a lawsuit or excessive force issue. I'll just us my hands, oc spray or TASER.

    A baton would be my choice for a vicious dog attack. Little risk of further injury to the victim.

    Here is something Not many people in the US have heard of, its called a Sjambok.

    Cold Steel makes one out of some kind of plastic.

    I have 2 of them and a real one I got in Botswana made of hippo hide.


    I have seen them in action and they are devastating. If you whip someone with one they are going to be in a world of hurt.

    I?ve seen ?em Sam, incredibly effective, not sure one could stay outta prison using it in the US. Back in the day I worked in a small SO in Fla, there was a deputy there who had a penchant for using a cattle prod. You guessed it, that didn?t work out real well for him in the long run.

    A Kubotan can be effective and inconspicuous.
