CCW permit...does it permit you to have an ASP?

[Porter Rockwell]

The ASP-

What in the heck does "ASP" stand for?
If I were to write an Order Of Weapons Thesis the ASP would be more than several rungs on the ladder below a simple ball peen hammer. Why not step several rungs above the ASP and avoid LEO attention with a hickory cane and a few short hours of training?
Trap with one end and whack with both ends Jo-Staff style.

MoParMike;

Of course, that would depend upon just exactly which ASP you were talking about. One type is even a firearm. ASP conversion's of the S&W model 39.

But then, that's history.

Michan's permit is a CPL only. At least one of our cities bans knives completely and concealed carry of a knife deemed to be a weapon is illegal even with permit. OC spray, ASP, etc. are all illegal to carry concealed.

Our options are to fist fight or shoot. Nothing in between. It needs to be addressed.

ASP = Armament Systems and Procedures. Legality of the batons varies from state to state. Get a Maglite. The 6C cell light is very close in size to the 21 inch ASP. A little harder to carry, but just as effective in action. And it's legal everywhere. ( Well, everywhere but Detroit -- and that doesn't count)

Those little leatherette handles you can buy at Lowes for Maglites are pretty handy, too, and prevent slipping.

Demise - I agree with you on how the penal code reads regarding being able to carry an ASP in Texas if you also have your Handgun and CHL on you, but very few people including DPS agree on this. I would like to see a test case on this.

glirette, that's odd. I didn't know what DPS' position on it was, but the law reads extremely, almost remarkably, clearly. Also, I was told by an APD officer that a CHL would allow the carry of an ASP, but that doesn't mean much. It would be interesting to see a test case, but I ain't volunteering.
