Is it legal to walk around with a Baton for self defense when you are not a law enforcement officer?
Answers:
Generally not, although I do know some people who use a cane for that purpose.
nope not legal anywhere in 50 states for that reason
You would probably be better off getting pepper spray or mace. Just make sure you can legally carry it wherever you are living.
It depends on the state/country, and what laws are in effect.
Certain exceptions may also be made for security guards and such. But again that depends on the specific jurisdiction.
I imagine somewhere its written that is a no no..It could be "intent" to cause bodily injury..I am sure somewhere like I said, its a no no...
Yes, it is. You are not trained in the art of using it. There are certain things that a baton can be used for okay. Only people trained with it know.

The answer depends on your local laws. You will need to check with your local District Attorney and get something in writing. Most times, it is better to not depend on a weapon for defense since it gives you a false sense of security and escalates the incident.
