Anybody carry any intermediate weapons?

[topgunz1]

I carry a 21" ASP (pretty useless... I use it to knock on doors) and a can of Freeze +P (pure evil in aerosol form)

 

[Top Kek]

considered getting a can of fox OC for the car but i've heard in high heat situations like that the propellent leeches out over time so somewhat frequent replacement is necessary.

 

[topgunz1]

you should check the propellant regularly anyway.

I can attest to the Freeze +P if anyone is considering what brand to buy... its nasty.

I bought my girlfriend, mom, and aunt some little pepper sprays.

I have thought about getting an ASP baton though, hmmm.

 

[spanky]

I keep an ASP in my car.

 

[topgunz1]

ASP's are fun to play with... but like I said, I find mine pretty useless most of the time.

In other states there are legal issues with non LEO people carrying an expandable baton. Are there any legal issues about them here in LA? Would a LEO consider an Asp in your back pocket a concealed weapon?

Just curious, I would like to have one as well.

As far as I know, there arent any provisions for impact weapons regarding carrying them on your person. They make provisions for knives (vaguely) and guns, but I havent seen anything for impact weapons. I'll take another look and see what I can find. If you use it in a justifiable manner to protect yourself from a bad guy... I'd shake your hand probably (just dont quote that)

I'd recomend reading up on proper use of an ASP before you go swinging it at people, it wouldnt be hard to kill somebody with one if you hit them in the wrong spot, then you not only have to justify beating them, but killing them as well.

I have Fox rated 5 million SHU @ 2% OC Now I am getting some Top Cop that is 3 million SHU but 10% OC cause its supposed to be much stronger.
The Fox is marked Police Use but in research this seems to mean that it is a milder form I guess so as not to be so "brutal". I'm thinkin this stuff may play a lot of numbers on ya.

freez +p nasty stuff! thats all i carry, no asp thats just an IA tool!

 

[projectx]

im a state police officer, and i have had an monadnock (modified asp) for 4 years. ive only been a cop for 6 months. I have never used my baton untill i became a cop. It is mainly used for riot control. I have pulled it once in an a confrontation. The best thing is OC spray. I have been hit with freeze, freeze+p, and OC. OC is deffinatly the worst. It is an oil based spray so it actually sticks when sprayed. If you do feel safer with an asp, here is a diagram of what is legal to hit, and wher it is not. red areas, not legal, yellow areas, only when confronted with either knife or stick, green areas, only when confronted with bare hands. hope this helps.

§95. Illegal carrying of weapons

A. Illegal carrying of weapons is:

(1) The intentional concealment of any firearm, or other instrumentality customarily used or intended for probable use as a dangerous weapon, on one's person; (emphasis mine)

I would like to get this repealed altogether, since it is an anti-self defense law with racist origins that is frequently used in a racist manner (see here: The Racist Roots of Gun Control), but in the mean time I would like to at least get our CHPs converted to CWPs. Until then, any LEO and/or activist DA could be fine you up to five hundred dollars, or imprison you for up to six months, or both. It is their call. How well do you know/trust the LEOs/DA in your area?

As always, open carry is OK.

With all due respect, that is not exactly true. You can hit someone where-ever you have to, depending on what force is justified. What I am getting at is: you can hit someone in a "red area" if lethal force is justified.

Pertinent statutes:

RE: OP

I carry OC on me, as well as a knife.

Have an asp and several more knives in the car, among other things (like a claw hammer!)

[dragginaknee]

i carry a asp, oc spray, x26, and a g22!

 

[Vermiform]

I keep a cold steel sf shovel in the back of my vehicle. It is a very "grey man" weapon. Who would think twice about seeing a mini shovel behind a truck seat or in a car trunk? Great emergency E&E tool in case of a local zombie outbreak.

 

[topgunz1]

Had my asp almost two years. only useful thing to do with it is knock on doors

Non-sense . . .!




Cap-Stun is THE dee doodle end-all spray . . . . I would venture to say that it might be better to smash your balls with a rubber mallet.

With that being said, the Freeze I now carry only makes me sneeze these days, lol.
