I am happy that you and I agree that a steel baton, such as an ASP, could easily be used as a deadly weapon, especially if used against targets such as the head / neck.

I like most common sense people, would have no problem shooting to stop anyone attempting to use a baton against me. Its the dont bring a club, rock, knife, etc. to a gun fight.

Carrying a baton concealed in Oklahoma is a crime. Carrying a firearm concealed with a permit is not.

Have a good day.
