Are batons ok to carry while on road?

[Two Tokes]

The reason I ask is bc I come across some aggressive dogs and the owner is not home or has no control over their dog. This is rare but it does happen. I follow my methods yelling ups, beep horn but the dogs don’t always run out until I get away from my vehicle.batons are legal in my state and I would conceal it on my belt. I know ups does not allow weapons but it’s no different than a multi tool or a pocket knife which is my next step. So overall can I carry a baton concealed if legal in my state? I honestly don’t want to be a fatality and a 14 year old just got mauled by 4 dogs in my state

Yes and Saw-offed pool cues
Try dog treats They work

Blow horn. Yell ups. Bag it. Leave it on driveway. Put in the remarks “drvwy dog”

That’s what I do at least when it’s a route I’m not too familiar with. I’ve been chased before. It’s not fun.

Yep the driveway is a great location when you do not know the dogs

I know ups does not allow weapons

then why ask if you can carry a weapon?

..but my supervisors told me yell “ UPS!” at every house so the dog understands it’s just the UPS guy and not an intruder.

Especially when ur approaching that one house with the huge dog that slams himself against the flimsy front door.

UPS should issue all drivers with a .38.
And probably part-timers too.

Just have a golf club and a few golf balls.
You never know when you might want to practice putting....

A small spray bottle of pure ammonia "mirror cleaner" sprayed in the dog's face is an effective deterrent.

I carry a tazer . I secretly tazer even the nice dogs. I once tazered a bird and it flew away backwards .

I carry Fabreeze because my preloader stinks up the car.

Seriously?

It's "mirror cleaner" to prevent it being labelled a weapon.

Our safety guy gave a mini air horn. He said it will startle you but scare the out of a dog. It’s a non fireable option

Give a center full of drivers air horns. What could go wrong?
