I found this "collapsible bo staff" thats literally just two extendable police batons connected back to back and i thought it would be a good thing to keep in the car since its just a 5 foot collapsible baton.
Does anyone know what the legality of keeping one of these in the car is? Where i live keeping a weapon in your car is considered the same as keeping it on your person and normal extendable batons are legal, but i don't know about something like this.

Its just a baton, dude. And a shitty mall ninja one at that.

Here's how you'll look using it.
>>35192637
I watched some torture test videos and it seems pretty durable.
>>35192654
I'm not actually going to use it as a bo staff, i was planning on taping one end closed and using it as an extra large baton with a reserve in case those torture tests were just flukes.

Why are you using ones that have moving parts to break? It's a car, you can stash a full size fixed bludgeon.

I would keep a bat in the car but for some reason thats actually more illegal than a baton.
Also a baton takes up much less space and i can keep it right between the seat and door or between the seat and center console.

Get a piece of steel pipe, 3 or so foot of it, and if questioned say it's a breaker bar for your tire iron.

"Why do you keep it by your seat when your tire iron is in the trunk?"

>Why do you keep it by your seat when your tire iron is in the trunk?
>Oh I forgot to put it back in the trunk when I was changing the brakes/rotating my tires a couple days ago.

>But officer, my truck doesn't have a trunk.

The design is silly because you can't use effectively the 5ft long reach, better get a generic 3ft long cudgel, it won't be as gimmicky, but that's actually not a bad thing.
Also
>bo staff
I know that anglophones have a hard time with this but "bo" means "staff" so that just paints you as ignorant.
UU! I know this!
it's a minbari fighting pike.
It's used by the rangers.
>>35192778
>not keeping your trunk full of bodies so you have an excuse to put stuff elsewhere
>>35193112
Can't speak for the US but in the UK everyone calls them a "bo staff" because "bo" is verbally identical to "bow" and people would get confused otherwise.
>>35192630
Seems like a retarded idea
In practical combat staves were not held in the middle like some sort of double-sided light-saber. You want to be able to maximise your reach by having your rear hand very far back. That sort of construction doesn't really allow for that
Just put a fucking wooden pole in the trunk if you really want to beat people with sticks in an emergency. You probably wouldn't need a long one anyway.

Why the fuck use some foreign word that is mildly confusing when we have an English word for it: Staff. Different lengths? Half-staff. Quarter-staff. Using some foreign word for a simple-ass piece of wood is just 80's martial arts weebism.
>>35193657
Because if you don't preface it with "bo" people won't know you're a disgusting weeaboo.
>>35193657
I think its like the difference between a violin and a fiddle, when you use it with a European fighting style its a regular staff and if you use it with an eastern fighting style its a bo

>>35192740
carrying a bar is legal if you also have a ball and glove. just say that you keep meaning to get to the batting cage for practice but haven't made it there yet.
>>35193982
bat, not bar.

A fiddle is physically different than a violin though. The bridge is filed down so you can hit three strings at once.

You wouldn't be able to use OP's abomination in the typical japanese way (which is most if not all the time like>>35193643 suggests), so why use a japanese word for it?
Staff is just fine.
