Purple Patrick 638 Posted May 12, 2017 Not legal as it's a "club". Now a tire iron or pressure checker bat thing.... that's got a real world use Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicious 138 Posted May 12, 2017 Gotta look up the law, IIRC they are not legal to carry, but ownership is o.k. They are a game changer >=D. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dajonga 397 Posted May 13, 2017 In my car, I carry a field hockey stick that I picked up for $2 at a thrift shop. Seems like it would make a good beatum stick. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fishnut 2,358 Posted May 13, 2017 Not legal in NJ to carry, I belive you can have one in your home but what good is that. When I was working full time as an animal control officer I could carry one as a "bite stick" to fend off an attacking dog but we're told we could not use them for self defence if a person attacked us. Fucking NJ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially those mini ones given out to kids on bat day at games. Nothin' like a "Louisville Slugger". Old golf club and bucket of old golf balls fit right in too!

bhunted 887 Posted May 13, 2017 If you are talking ASP Baton, you use to have to get certified via a course. Usually sanctioned by ASP. Unless things change, you still do. I got certified long ago. Still carry mine in my truck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bishop 0 Posted June 14, 2017 From what I've learned, an ASP is a no go. Oddly, something flexible vs solid is legal from what I know. IE, a whip, and flexible slap MAY be legal. But, as usual, officer digression overrides all of that. NJ ... go figure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhunted 887 Posted June 14, 2017 Black jacks, slap jacks are no go. As I mentioned, ASP Batons require certification.My old, (pre 1980), black jack currently sits in my PD's museum cabinet.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
