Can I legally sell these???

[mbear53]

I have some expandable batons for sell in the non-firearm classified section. It's been suggested that these are illegal to be civilian owned, therefore I can't legally sell them. Is this true? Any knowledge on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I do not see why not it is a tire pressure checker.
I have seen people sell them at gun shows.

No, it is not illegal to sell. Anyone who is not an officer can walk into any of the local police supplies and buy one. The only things that may be restricted and require ID are badges, uniforms, patches and in the stores that sell them, guns at police discount prices.

My fee for this response is one free baton.

Should be fine to sell lots of "surplus" stores sell them

Guessing it's ok to own but don't be caught with one in your car or truck if you are not a leo.

I beleive you can have and own them, however you cannot carry them in your car... Only have at your house...

How do you get it from the store to your house? And I am curious why I need one at the house. The house is where my guns are. I was thinking it would be a good thing to keep in my desk, when I'm a teacher, in case of a school invasion. No guns allowed, need something. But if it's only legal at home, I see no point.

Uhh, I'd say put it in your trunk, like you would your gun if you didn't have a carry permit.....ie not easily attainable..... I don't think it would be okay to have at a school anyway(not that it shouldn't be, just that I don't beleive it is). It is not legal to carry, not have......
