| Do you all think it would be effective? Like hitting the biceps and the head? I was reading an article in Black Belt they had a section on them they seem like they could do some real damage |

I have a few friends who carry these and they feel it is effective - the training is quite pragamattic which is why many people will use them.
They are very effective against temples, wrist bones, eye sockets, and skulls.

Are you referring to the expandable batons like the ASP or something small like the kubaton?

I'm referring to the latter, I hope that's what SC_CKD was talking about

I carry a kubotan, but I have yet to use it.

I got two kubatons coz I thought I saw someone dual wielding them once, I don't really know how to use them, I will strike with them like to the temple or something but i'm told on good authority that they are quite complicated throws and flashy stuff with them, don't like all the flashy stuff, just wastes time and energy

What about the palm stick? I have one, just a few inches long made of rattan. Don't carry it though, haven't trained with it yet.

Your impact is focused on a small, hard point so the penetration is going to be better. I'm not entirely sure they're legal in my state though. I've never looked into it. Any other Oregonianites here know?

I don't think carrying a 6" stick would be a problem. I have seen articles on the small stick, and it can be of some use.
