Kevin Valencia dodges a baton blow from Staff Sergeant Brooke Parras during civilian riot training on July 16 at Camp San Luis Obispo, California.

At the same time, you need to extend your arm and swing the stick to the front of your body. Be sure to hold your arm close to your body and put your thumb inside. You should also hold your hand in a fist. There was a thread on this some time ago. As I recall, they are illegal. As Carmelo replied, the dogs here are not a big threat and are more afraid of you than aggressive. The vast majority of dogs here are small-medium anyway! As a safety net, simply carry a small portion of pork Adobo. LOLOLOL All over the Philippines, I brought a baton and a knife.
My Philippine was also carrying a knife. A great way to carry a baton is in a book bag or backpack, such as in the front pocket of the bag, so the bag itself can be instantly swung from its straps from a single shoulder position, making the bag itself a weapon. The best way to hold a stick is to put your thumb to the side and close those fingers, then turn around so that there is an arm movement from the shoulder down through the hips. Thanks for the info (all) please can I ask if it was recently (Jordypzr) that the knives were brought back. I pass a baton, it would be less risky, you think, than a load of knives. As long as it stays in checked baggage? I`m thinking about taking a police baton as a gift for my friend and putting it in my checked luggage. At customs, etc., you think they will see it and confiscate it. Be sure to hold your arm close to your body and insert your thumb into it when you swing the wand.
This will help you control the stick and make it easier to swing. Will I get in trouble with the authorities if I carry a collapsible baton in my pocket? In such cases, we would hit the head hard and quickly: aim at the temple, nose, eye or back of the head, where the spine meets the base of the skull. These areas are most likely to generate braking force, regardless of what happens to the attacker. But remember, if you use the baton or any other weapon in a potentially lethal way, you`d better have a good reason – you`d better be able to articulate clearly and justify that you perceived a threat to life and had no other reasonable way to stop the attack. Poor dogs. Why use a baton? They won`t attack you if they feel you`re someone you`re afraid of or need to respect. Perhaps you should instead try to radiate authority when you get close to them. That would be better, don`t you think? It`s not stupid to bring anything with you, as long as it`s not illegal to minimize the waste of time looking for batons. It is not on the handheld transport item, it is on checked baggage.
Offensive, if you used it against the immigration or customs officer. Just a cool explanation, a gift for someone special. No matter what type of stick or night stick you use, from extendable to Billy Club, you should definitely keep an eye on the binding. Use your free hand to move people away from the handle. As soon as you feel an opponent grabbing the other end of your stick, use a defensive escape maneuver, such as fast, hard, and small circles, to break the hold. Place both hands on the gun and create a quick and hard whirlwind with the baton, then retreat to your guard position once it is free. This rapid circular motion should be enough to break a hard grip. I have a friend I chat with on IRC. His father is a PNP in Cebu. I showed him the picture of the steel rod and asked him if it was legal. His father said it wasn`t if it was made of steel. Whether that`s the right answer or not, I can`t say.
I am only interested in the opinions of others on this subject. Wooden sticks are just not so convenient. In military police or riot police, we practice using police batons to control crowds. Our goal is never to hurt and certainly not to kill; So we use the threat of pain to induce control. A civilian who needs to pass the baton in self-defense may also want to use pain or the threat of pain to defend themselves. If you use a baton to cause pain, aim for the fleshy part of the thighs or arms. Give hard and complete turns and swing all the way, back and forth. Keep in mind that this is a less-than-lethal defense technique, so NEVER swing towards your face or head unless you`re willing to seriously injure or kill. Again, know your laws as well as your ability to use your stick effectively and safely.
Use it responsibly and wear it legally. For more information on non-lethal self-defense weapons, check out my articles on pepper spray tips, stun gun tips, or how to choose a self-defense flashlight. Good luck and stay safe! A baton is an assault weapon and you will probably have it confiscated during baggage screening. California is the only state where the possession and carrying of extendable batons is illegal. In Massachusetts, New York and Washington D.C., batons are illegal to carry but legal for domestic use. There are no federal laws against the wearing of extendable batons. One of the central issues surrounding the use of a baton for self-defense is retention. As I said earlier, a staff, whatever it is, is the most natural weapon for any human being – or primate – as a weapon.
It`s much easier to use than a knife, gun, or pair of nunchucks. Give a child a cane without training, and it can hurt someone with it. That being said, it`s just as easy to take the stick or stick from you and use it against you. Now that you know how to hold the stick, let`s learn how to swing it. When you swing the wand, you want to make sure you keep your arm close to your body. You should also hold your hand in a fist and put your thumb in it. This will help you control the stick and make it easier to swing. Yes, you can legally carry foldable batons in most states.
