I'm trying to gather whether non-LEO use of an expandable baton for self-defense is legal or illegal in most states. Almost all credible trainers seem to restrict training to LEOs, leaving the non-LEO ready access to most fully lethal weapons (firearms, edged weapons) but fewer less-than-lethal alternatives (impact weapons, in particular). Hence, a lot of people get in the "If you can't run away, shoot'em" mentality. Better than just "Shoot'em", but not as good (or legal) as matching force with force, for those that could if trained.
Comments and opinions welcome.
