Is it illegal to carry a baton stick as self defense in England?
I'm thinking on purchasing a baton stick for self defense but I wasn't sure if it was legal to carry in a bag.

That’s all the news for today guys, so until next time, thanks for stopping by.
On one hand, you want to be able to defend yourself from individuals who have evil designs on your person and property. After all, it is your life and limb that is stake here and you want to hold on to them for as long as you possibly can.
On the other hand, you want to make your conscience clear and your freedom near by not accidentally killing your attacker. How do you accomplish such a delicate balancing act? Well, you apply these methods, of course!
Use Non-Lethal Weapons
Non-lethal weapons are designed to temporarily incapacitate their subjects instead of killing them. When your attacker is writhing in pain, you can take advantage of the window of opportunity for a hasty escape.
There are many commercially available non-lethal weapons in the market that will not break the bank but can break the spirit, or at least the body, of your attacker. These include pepper and mace sprays, electroshock devices like stun guns and stun batons as well as Tasers, and personal alarms. You will either drive your attackers away or immobilize them for a few precious minutes sufficient to make your quick getaway.
Focus on Escaping
Sure, you may want to exact sweet revenge on your attacker by physically assaulting and verbally castigating him/her. However, this is exactly the kind of vindictive reaction that can prolong your unfortunate contact with your attacker and thereby increasing the chances for direct confrontation.
And when it does come to direct confrontation, you are exposed to greater risks because your attacker can lash out in anger even when he/she is temporarily blinded by the pepper spray. And why would you want that to happen?
So, at the first chance of escape, take it. Just focus on getting yourself out of the dangerous situation with your life and limbs where they ought to be – attached to your body.
Go for the Vulnerable Albeit Not Life-threatening Areas
There are instances, admittedly, that direct confrontation cannot be avoided. In such cases, the next best thing to do is to attack the aggressors’ vulnerable areas in order to temporarily weaken his defense or disarm him of his deadly weapons. Of course, these vulnerable areas should be carefully chosen so that you don’t accidentally kill him.
First, you can aim for the genital area especially if your attacker is of the male gender. You should deliver a strong kick but be sure that you have the element of surprise on your side since most male attackers are prepared for such an attack. Or you can kick him in the knees, groin and throat since these are also vulnerable areas. And if when you are in high heels, use the pointed spikes to your advantage.
Second, you can make him unconscious by hitting him to his head with a blunt object. As much as possible, avoid using pointed objects like knives unless it’s the only available and reachable weapon in sight.
Third, if you hands are free but your legs are pinned down, gouge him in the eyes with your thumbs. This ought to temporarily blind him, momentarily relax his hold on you and then you can quickly flee.
And when you have escaped, run like the hounds of hell are after you, scream like a banshee to attract attention and just live to tell the tale.
