Re: Collapsible Baton-Legal to Carry in Texas
Truck drivers, correct me if I'm wrong, but, I know a lot of drivers, carried, what I heard referred to as a "thumper" which they would use to "thump" their tires to see if they were low on air. It was a short wooden stick, similar to a baton, that they carried in their cab. It would also make a great "attitude adjuster" if need be.

Yes. While carrying a baseball bat, is not illegal, since it was not designed, as a club, once it is used as a club, it becomes prohibited. The same is true, of a hammer, tennis racket, golf club (although the name, is kind of ominous) or, crowbar.PBratton wrote: ↑Sat Aug 18, 2018 10:19 amBut couldn't a weapon be considered anything that is used to inflict bodily damage or death?jimlongley wrote: ↑Wed Feb 11, 2009 4:17 pm The sticks the "little old ladies out walking for exercise with sticks (e.g. cut down broom handles)" are carrying would seem to me to not fit in the definition "(1) "Club" means an instrument that is specially designed, made, or adapted for the purpose of inflicting serious bodily injury or death by striking a person with the instrument, "
Which is the reason that gang bangers are such big golf fans that they carry their favorite nine iron everywhere they go just in case they happen to come across a driving range new to the 'hood and feel the need to hit a couple of buckets of balls.
