Legality of a 2-foot long stick during walk/hike
Posted: Sun Oct 22, 2023 2:07 am
I go on a 1-1.5 hour long walk almost every day, in a mixed-forest area, and a long 5-6 hour hike every Sunday.
I am kind of paranoid about carrying a knife due to legal repurcussions. I do carry a multitool with a 2.4 inch blade nearly every day though.
About the stick, it'd be good for scaring away wild animals, which are known to be in both the areas I usually walk/hike. It could also be something against an attacker. The animals are my main concern, not my only concern though.
So considering that these spots don't have express "No Sticks" signs, is it legal for me to be carrying a 2 foot long cane of sorts?
Would also like to know if there's a legal limit to stick(staff?) length, if it exists.
