If you’ve ever wondered whether carrying a telescopic baton for personal protection in California is legal, you’re not alone. Until recently, expandable batons were banned under the state’s weapon laws—but that’s changed.
In 2024, a federal judge ruled that California’s ban on “billy clubs,” including telescopic or expandable batons, was unconstitutional. This decision was based on the U.S. Supreme Court’s Bruen ruling, which clarified the right of law-abiding citizens to carry arms for self-defense.
✅ The result: Californians are now legally allowed to buy, carry, and own telescopic batons for personal protection.

A telescopic baton, also known as an expandable baton, is a compact steel shaft that extends with a flick of the wrist. It’s a non-lethal tool used by security professionals and civilians for protection, control, and deterrence.
Unlike stun guns or pepper spray, batons don’t require power or refills. They’re always ready, and legal to carry in more states—especially now in California.
Always check with your local city or county if you live in a jurisdiction with stricter self-defense laws.
They’re easy to carry, require no maintenance, and provide instant confidence when you need it most.
California residents finally have the right to carry a baton for self-defense—and it’s a huge win for personal safety. Whether you’re in Los Angeles, San Diego, or a smaller town, a compact baton can help you feel more secure wherever you go.

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.
