Given that for most here the only other option is a blade and spray, I'd take the spray & baton. You are going to get more distance, but just as important as it is to learn how to defend with a knife the same goes for a baton.

Misdemeanor. Carrying a loaded handgun concealed is also a misdemeanor.
As for your other question: If it's not concealed and not carried with the intent to injure, there is no crime, but consult an attorney.

The problem is, is that MD doesn't define an ASP baton as a weapon. So how can I even get arrested for it if they found it in my car? I could use my steel-toe Redwings to do some damage by swinging them at someones face, but it's not a crime to carry them, is it?

I have an ASP; locking out smoothing isn't the problem. I can't get the damn thing closed- Is there a trick to it?
How can you get arrested? Simple, its as easy as the link. Convicted is a different story.
Also:
The law doesn't define a list of weapons. It does identify some things that are weapons, and some things that aren't.
The list is not all inclusive. The law states:
(c) (1) A person may not wear or carry a dangerous weapon of any kind concealed on or about the person.
If you hit it on concrete you'll scar the tip. Instead flex the tip and handle as if you're trying to bend it. Then "bend" it the other way. Do this a few times and it will come loose. Then "throw" the tip toward the handle and the friction lock will collapse.
Correct. It does work on carpeted floors provided you don't care about damaging them though. There is a "clip" that's you get get to if you unscrew the end cap. Adjusting that can make the ASP lock out more effectivly or close more easily but it's a lot of trial and error if you're not sure what you're doing and they break pretty easily.
You know I'm going to have to try this now.

AFAIK you can open carry them. I've had moco / rockville cops walk past me when I was OCing an ASP and they never stopped me. YMMV, it was dark and they might not have seen it or maybe they just didnt say anything since I am a tiny little guy walking around at night.
Let me know how it works for you. I've been doing it for a long time.
Now, if you REALLY lock it up tight like when you deploy it on the street, you might have to try something else like concrete
, but for 99% of the time this will work just fine.
Anecdotal evidence says you can carry one openly, not concealed. Several people in my neighborhood carry golf irons while walking. I like a cane. Mine is a hickory "street cane" by Cane Masters. The large crook and sharpened end are great for practicing martial arts.

Wait....so the cool battle scars on the tips arent cool?
PD's don't like them because the sharpened metal = injuries.
Also, if you have to strike someone you might prefer they not bleed, with all the bloodborne pathogens around.
You can always use some sandpaper to smooth the tip if yours is buggered up.
If we're not talking about ASP batons, 2SAM22 is the baddest MF'er on this website now.
