In Kalifornia, a private citizen can't own ASP batons, OC spray over 2 oz, air TASERS, Pepperballs, saps, billyclubs, knuckles, nunchakus, PR-28s, and most other non-firearm weaponry.

Don't even get me started on the gun laws here. :barf:

I remember seeing a story on TV about how some cali cops took out a blind person who whipped out the folding cane they carry. Thought it was nunchakus. Is THAT stupid or what?

As for cuffs, forget it, too "wannabe cop". Use large zipties instead. Cheaper, disposable, and you can carry one in the pant leg seam of your pants without it being found in a patdown.

In case that ever comes up.
