The ASP baton is a great civilian weapon -- if it's legal where you are.

When compacted down, they measure less than 12" long. A sharp flick of the wrist extend the baton to something between 16 and 34 inches depending on model. Even compacted, it can be used as a strike weapon for close quarters.

It's amazing how deploying one can change the attitude of a group of loitering drunk troublemakers. Those things really hurt when you're on the receiving end too.
