If confronted with a problem person in a state such as Ca. and you use your stick, you could still be charged with aggravated assault, with the burden of defending yourself in court hanging on your shoulders. No common sense left in their legal systems.
I recently carved me a nice stick out of a very tough local wood and use it occasionally when I'm walking, but just be aware it could be just as easily considered a weapon as a baseball bat, firearm, etc....
