    I owned a Peacekeeper RCB when I was a county deputy, and I thought it was too bulky. It wasn't, carrying a straight stick is the definition of bulky.
    LOL mi amigo. Its a nice deterrant ehh? ha

    A 26" hardwood baton would serve anyone well. In the right hands, it can be used to control someone considerably larger in size than the person using the baton.

    IDK what use/need the OP's son is trying to meet with a baton.

    While straight sticks are nice, the problem is that very often, they are in the unit when you need them. The best thing about the expandable baton is that it is always with you.

    On DV calls I would have mine out and concealed (collapsed) until I knew it wasn't needed.

    For civilian usage, I don't think that a straight stick is more low profile than a tee-ball bat, and if push came to shove I'd rather have the tee-ball bat. As a civilian I'm not going for joint locks or pressure points with a baton.

    Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee

    He wants a concealable baton, He is at a University and it drives him crazy I won't let him role with his G19. They have many break ins and tons of shifty BS. No gun is happen. So, its collapsable and that is it.
