Keep in mind this is a person who is trying to sell something to you telling you this. It is illegal to carry a weapon for a dangerous purpose. There is ABSOLUTELY no need to carry an extendable baton around town. It will end up getting seized and you will be out what you paid for it.

Plus, it is a terrible weapon anyways. If you pull that out on somebody there is a pretty good chance that it will end up being used on you. I carry a baton for work and have never even thought about using it on anybody. I have smashed through a lot of glass with it, but that's about all it is good for.
