Collapsible batons are considered a concealed weapon and will land you jail time even if you don’t use it.
Noguns/anti-gun mfers always have the most distorted ideas about self defense and how it's viewed in the eyes of the law.
Their conclusions shape their understanding of the world.
"Gun control is a solution for violence. If violence is happening, than it must be because there aren't enough laws controlling guns."
And that's how you get the "I wish women had as many rights as guns" rhetoric that is hilarious when you compare it to the reality.
"You just need a few simple moves to defeat anyone!"
Just take the gun out of their hand! <- actual suggestion I've seen made
Caught with one of those in CA you're looking at a felony, even if you have a license to carry it.
License only covers you if you're working in whichever job it is that you are licensed to carry it for.
Brass knuckles or other similar devices are illegal with no licenses available here too.
Get. A. Walking. Stick.
It's a walking aid and genuinely can increase your endurance even with casual use. Almost no one will ever even glance at it when going in to venues and daily life ubless you get an ostentatious one.
And if the haft is ironwood, or has a core of steel rod, no one needs to know that unless it comes up in the trial, but what prosecutor is going to charge a person who 'needs a cane' defending themselves from a threat with the tools they have to-hand?
The would still consider it a concealed weapon designed to appear as a non weapon. Lmao purely because it’s designed with a core rod they claim “it was designed to be used to harm”.
Trust me people get charged for dumb shit like this in self defense cases all the time in heavily restricted states/countries.
I suspect you could get charged for a regular walking stick in some places.
"Loaded canes" are banned by name pretty much everywhere.
Me when a MFer says I should get a fucking stick:
Stop being a pussy, just acquire a fucking nuclear weapon like God fucking intended.
