Hello,
I'm a newbie, but a longtime firearms enthusiast. I reside in Virginia, and have a question about the legality of ASP batons. Virginia law forbids the carrying of "spring sticks", defined as:

"Spring stick" means a spring-loaded metal stick activated by pushing a button which rapidly and forcefully telescopes the weapon to several times its original length. "

It is my understanding that ASPs do not have a button which activates them, and thus would be legal under Virginia law. Am I interpreting this correctly?

Thanks
