Abstract
A generally cylindrical baton having a center of gravity displaced from its longitudinal axis reducing the tendency of the baton to roll when laid on a generally horizontal supporting surface. The baton includes a flat end which permits the baton to rest vertically on a generally horizontal supporting surface and a handle operatively connected to a substantially rigid band secured between the ends of the baton which slides along the length of the baton permitting the baton to be easily concealed while being carried.
