...as in the old school single piece side handled "baton" ??? Right now the mall I'm working at is finally allowing the carry of the Asp/gravity stick, but a few of us prefer the older (and tried & true) PR-24. The Mall seems to think the PR-24 is "too tactical" versus the collapsable Asp. This makes me laugh a bit because the ear pieces we wear are "tactical" as even LEOs still use the open air lapel mic. I disagree on this decree, as do a few others but it's not our call. Of course I'm just going to buy me a collapsable PR-24esque Asp anyhow (nice circumvention), but I truly prefer the single piece baton, and in defense of that fine PDW.
So do any of you (either non commissioned or commissioned) carry one of the old school batons? I still see a few LEOs wearing them but not often as most of them carry the Asp as well. I just find it odd that something that was once a basic part of Security and Police work as a non firearm PDW is now considered "tactical" and the weapon of a Boogey Man Unit.
