So does this mean I can keep a baton in my car or only concealed on my person?Shalafein wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2019 12:52 pmReread the section.I think the limit is 8 oz. Anything that size or smaller is considered a weapon.
The definition of an (illegal) ‘Chemical Dispensing Device’ does NOT include any device sold commercially for personal protection.
This would not include ANY size of ‘self defense’ or ‘animal deterrent’ canister of OC, nor anything like a PepperBlaster.
This WOULD include as being illegal the force multiplying or area denial weaponry, such as OC or CS grenades, OC/CS 40mm rounds, or the 10-50 gallon pressurized tanks of OC or CS connected to a fogger and intended to saturate a room or building.
Anyway ... September 1, 2019 marks the effective date of HB 446 (2019) which removes “clubs” (batons) from the prohibited/illegal weapons list, and officially concludes this thread with a happy ending.
