Collapsible baton

Security Supply, 4000 steeles ave. your probably looking at $150 for a real 'police issue' baton. Don't get caught carrying it around if you don't have the paperwork to be carrying one.
 
If you want a reliable brand go with ASP. But if you don't have a good reason to carry one and you haven't been trained to become proficient with its use then you are likely carrying the baton that you will be assaulted with. This holds true for all weapons.
 
Certain extendible batons are consider to be prohibited weapons under the Criminal Code.

13 The device commonly known as a “Kiyoga Baton” or “Steel Cobra” and any similar device consisting of a manually triggered telescoping spring-loaded steel whip terminated in a heavy calibre striking tip.

Use of any baton extendible or not can potentially open you up to assault with a weapon and weapons dangerous charges, big dollar fines and up to 10 years in prison.
 
I keep one in my car, in case I need to break a window of course.
 
Under the current law, a stout fountain pen or banana is a weapon. I wouldn't drive around with a baton in the car.

Unless I was dating a cheerleader from a marching band, then its batons for everybody.
 
Depends how you hold the banana. Hold it curved up, that's a weapon. Curved down, bininher.

lol...I just got a nice little Louisville and a couple tennis balls. If anyone asks questions I just say its to play fetch with the dogs

OP If you're looking for a nice little collapsible baton Cold Steel makes really good ones, I've personally tried and tested them...

Also the guy who said if you don't have any training or know what you're doing you'll get your own *** kicked with it is absolutely right. If you have no close quarters skills or aren't physically very imposing and significantly stronger you can very easily be disarmed and beat to **** especially if the assailant is committed.

I had a guy hit me two summers ago in the parking lot after a music fest. He squared up, pulled it out of his pocket and took a nice swing at me. The guy really sucked and I've been training and competing in combat sports for almost 10 years so I saw it coming from a mile away and covered up. He ended up hitting me across the tricep and shoulder, I barely felt it at the moment through the adrenaline and clocked him with a nice cross to the chin. Needless to say that was the end of that but I could have taken his baton after he dropped it and beat him half to death if I wanted.

Nice :)

About the whole concealed weapon thing though, that's why I carry a survival knife every moment of everyday. Glass breaker, seatbelt cutter, wire stripper, serrated halfway, a good flat hammering spot on top. Never leave home without one! 3.5" is perfectly legal to carry, and I use the blunt end of mine to open paint cans at work. If anyone asks it's not for self-defense, it's a tool.
 
Search ebay for "black jack". Not retractable but small and convenient for, uh, breaking things made of, er, glass.

Yup, you can argue that with a multi-purpose tool. You can't really argue that with a thing that is specifically designed and sold as a weapon.

I was under the impression that flick sticks were totally illegal unless you were a police or security officer. TBH I was surprised you got any advice at all lol!

In Canada, there is no specific law that prohibits batons; except for spring-loaded batons, which are defined as a prohibited weapon under a regulation entitled 'Regulations Prescribing Certain Firearms and other Weapons, Components and Parts of Weapons, Accessories, Cartridge Magazines, Ammunition and Projectiles as Prohibited or Restricted' (also capable of being referred to by its registration number: SOR 98–462). However, it is a crime under section 90 of the Criminal Code to carry any weapon, including a baton, in a concealed fashion.

I guess you aren't a monty python fan, as this scene far pre-dates Scary Movie:
