I am going on vacation in Paris in early September. I would like to know if it is legal there to carry my ASP baton for self-defense. For those who don't know, an ASP is a collapsible metal billyclub that telescopes out with a flick of the wrist. When closed it is very discreet... but I don't want to wind up in jail if some sharp-eyed Paris cop spots it and it turns out to be illegal! Can anyone give me an answer on the legality of such items in France?
