HI, has anyone used a collapsible baton for real self defense.? Do the police use them? I'm just interested in hearing some stories.

I used to have an ASP a while back; I kept it in my car, I think a mechanic lifted it when I took my car in for service. Never used it on anyone. The are tough as nails though. If you want something reliable, spend the extra $$ for an ASP. The cheapies tend to bend. Another good defense tool for you car is a vacuum cleaner. I watched a guy use a vacuum cleaner on an attacker once. He was deadly with that dirt devil! I forget the model of it, but I can send you a link when I find it.

I didn't know if someone might pop up with a good ole' baton thumping video. I kinda think I've seen them on COPS a few times.

ASP's are the best they will hold a police car that is slung from a crane, sadly just had one stolen myself, would of liked the opertunity to use it on the thief and youtube it on my mobile just for jimmyjo!

Of course police officer will use police baton because this is issued by the government to them. I don't use them because it is not allowed to our place.
