These are considered a billy club as outlined in state statue...you can sell them and people can own them but they can't carry them.

What if I'm on my way to a reenactment of a 1960's civil rights protest?

Yes way. I bought two of these from the Walmart in Tulsa on Admiral.

Any weapon can be considered offensive. Pick up a tree branch and smack someone up side the head and it's now an "offensive weapon". Any prosecutor could get a lot of miles out of those two words.

I thought they were illegal to carry them. Just because they sell them does not make them legal. Walmart sells the spring assisted opening knives which are illegal as I verified with a LEO.

The collapsable sticks exert a huge amount of force, enough to break arms and legs.

Don't know about inside your house.

This is why you ask a lawyer, not a cop, about the law. And man, glad baseball bats can't exert that kind of force! That'd be offensive.

I think the fine line on the asp or retractable piece is that its not full size at all times, or so I was always told? Just put it up there with other ignorant guidelines more created to screw people than defend their safety. And for what its worth my mailman carries one on him, I found this out when he told me my dog can clear my fence like a deer and they had a few words last week. Just glad in the moments of my dog's horrible choices that she was smart enough to walk away and not injure a federal employee.

Yes you are correct...they can sell them you just can't carry them...

To be perfectly honest with you I don't know why some things you can't carry. It makes no sense to me that you can carry a gun conceled but not a horible spring knife, or a expandable baton. The baton has more usese than just cracking skulls, like control and emobilization...why you can't carry one is beyond me.

Because big brother says so, don't ask questions
