Doesn't the lead attorney have to be admitted to the CA bar (all I saw was a HI bar #)?

Bottom where? On the front page of the complaint, it just shows the HI bar #.

Ok, thanks. A bit sloppy to omit the CA bar # on the first page of the complaint, but I wish them success.

Nice. Doesn't California also ban nunchucks? I'm surprised there hasn't been a lawsuit over that yet.

Also, I saw that there's a Notice of Related Case; which lawsuit is it referring to?

Miller which is the new assault weapons case. Its arguably related because the matter before the court in both cases is what arms are protected by the second amendment

yay california has been abusing the billy club law as much as new york with its gravity knife law (every folding knife that the strongest cop can whip down hard enough to open became a silkripper paratrooper knife

every thing you can hit someone with becomes a "billyclub" be it a socket wrench ,a bike lock ,baseball bat,a branch

Awesome @wolfwood, a collapsible baton is a great option. I bet if you win they will classify it as a concealed weapon and it would have to be carried openly; just to discourage people from doing it.

That would be fine. Then I don’t have to carry the big flashlight on walks anymore.

HOWEVER, let us nip this threadjack in the bud; threads in this forum are principally for activity in the case. As this one is new, not much activity yet, so it seems like there is a vacuum to fill ...

Absolutely right, it is used to target some groups but not others.

I routinely see homeless people walking around with golf clubs. They do not get charged! Professor Eric Clanton who was clobbering people on the head with a bike lock was not charged with baton possession and ended up with a single misdemeanor and a suspended setence.

If homeless people get to walk around openly carrying obvious weapons, why do we even have such a law?

Yes, sort of. The exception for private possession is, PC 22010 does not apply to schools holding a regulatory or business license if:
  1. the school teaches the art of self-defense, and
  2. the nunchuks are kept on the school's premises.

Includes antiques, museums, etc... Possession is not the same as carrying or transporting.
https://youtu.be/sMtxu92cFZw

**** The reality ****
The farmers of Okinawa used them as weapons, because that's what they could have. If you think nunchuck are actually for self defense stop smoking meth and watching Bruce Lee movies.

Boilerplate. They deny everything. Legal equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and yelling "I can't hear you, I can't hear you"

If you don't deny, the other side has a strong argument in their motion for summary judgement.

In responding to a verified complaint, the defendant has three choices: admit, deny, or deny on lack of information or belief. Anything not denied or effectively denied is deemed admitted. Anything admitted is deemed proved and not in controversy.

They kind of did. But it seems that CA-DoJ either didn't get the memo or are ignoring it.

Wait, what?

Your security guard instructor suggested you AVOID CARRYING & USING ASP’s / collapsible batons?

WTF?

Why?

Very curious....

they can and do fail.
often ineffective.
he recommended old fashioned "nightsticks" as opposed to tonfa's etc .

Think about it, even the extra seconds in unholstering/deploying could mean the bad guy wins.

but I think the topic of "why" is better suited to another sub-forum not litigation/activism
