Firearms

On a sidenote, since we're talking about weapons...

Are telescopic baton worth anything?

I don't have the means to bu a 400$ gun along with the ammo and permit so I was wondering if such a baton would be helpful? Or just plain waste of money?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The real question is why do you need or want a baton?

Mainly because I don't have the means for a firearms, less the desire to own one and not willing to get the permit/license for one. And I wouldn't trust myself with one... I'd probably shoot myself in the foot.

A baton seems safer, easier to carry/conceal and cheaper for my needs when I walk either on campus or anywhere else.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
