One type of baton is a telescoping steel rod with a rubber handle on one end and a hard rubber or metal tip on the other. A flick of the wrist will extend the baton to its full length, usually less than 24 inches. This thing can do some damage if you know how to use: break a knee, nose; crush a windpipe; crack a skull; strangle, etc.

Florida considers a baton to be a weapon and if concealed requires a concealed weapons permit. It can be carried in your car for self defense without a permit. It does not have to be kept locked up and can be kept at ready.
