Can you get arrested for carrying a truncheon for self defence?
depending on the type of truncheon yes you can be arrested for carrying them as they are a dangerous weapon. Many countries have banned certain types of truncheons (or clubs/nightsticks as they are also known as). My suggestion would be not to carry a truncheon, and if you feel the need too, keep it in the bottom of your bag (if you are carrying a bag). Or learn to use your belt as a defensive weapon, this has worked for me in the past (especially if you have a belt with a large metal buckle on it).
