Ever since California overturned its baton ban, buyers across the state have been searching for legal self-defense tools that don’t require a firearm permit. One of the most popular tools gaining attention? Telescopic batons — also known as expandable or collapsible batons.
These tactical tools aren’t just for security guards anymore. Now, everyday civilians in California can legally own and carry them for personal protection — as long as they’re used responsibly.
After the recent court ruling that declared California Penal Code § 22210 unconstitutional, civilians are now legally allowed to purchase and carry batons for self-defense. This includes steel collapsible batons that extend with a flick of the wrist, making them ideal for deterring threats.
But not all batons are created equal. Some are made with cheap materials, loose locking mechanisms, or rubber grips that slip under pressure. That’s why it’s important to invest in the same quality trusted by law enforcement and private security firms.
If you’re shopping for your first baton, here’s what to look for:
We stock only battle-tested, real-world models — the kind professionals carry on duty.
✅ Yes — for civilians.
The federal court ruling lifted the statewide ban, but remember:
👮 Security guards still need a BSIS baton permit to carry while on duty. That rule hasn’t changed.
With laws constantly shifting — and demand skyrocketing — we recommend securing your baton now while inventory is strong.
We carry several reliable options in different lengths and styles. Whether you’re looking for something discreet or full-sized for maximum presence, we’ve got the tools to help you stay prepared.

Q: Are expandable batons legal to carry in my car in California?
A: Yes — under the current court ruling, you can carry a baton in your vehicle for self-defense, as long as it’s not used unlawfully.
Q: Can I carry a baton while walking or jogging?
A: Yes. Telescopic batons are legal for civilian carry, but you should keep it holstered or in a bag unless you feel threatened.
Q: Is a license or permit needed for personal use?
A: No permit is required for civilians. Only security guards need a BSIS permit to carry batons while on the job.
California residents now have access to one of the most effective non-lethal self-defense tools out there. Telescopic batons are legal, reliable, and trusted by professionals.
Just make sure you choose a quality one — and use it responsibly.

I’ve been a dedicated advocate in the non-lethal self defense industry providing pepper spray, stun guns personal alarms, batons and more. I started my journey in the early ‘90s. My goal is to ensure that everyone has access to the right tools for their safety and peace of mind. Before the internet, I sold door to door with flyers in residential areas and then to bars, nightclubs, flea markets, home parties, schools, security companies, dojos, and more. As a former counselor, I’ve also teamed up with women’s shelters and college campus safety teams, striving to make a meaningful difference in countless lives.
