I read the thread about an OCer that came across a really agressive "anti" in Target and it really made me think.

I've read what I can find on OC and CC of weapons (other than firearms) in the Commonwealth. Does anyone know if an ASP expandible baton is legal to carry either OC, CC or both? I carried one as an LEO, but never thought about carrying one since I retired until recently. I've been trained in it's use and know it can be a very effective "less than lethal" intermediate weapon for situations when you REALLY don't want to draw and/or shoot your pistol.
The closest thing I can find is 18.2-311 that discusses Blackjacks and throwing stars, but not specifically ASP batons. Anyone know the facts?
