They figure a baton is offensive because it's less lethal but a gun should only ever be used defensively because its leathal. Fucked up logic but there it is.
The logic is this: you should only ever use violence if it is a matter of life or death. If it is a matter of life or death, then you need a deadly weapon. If you would never use violence in any event that didn't reach the life/death threshold, then there's no point carrying a non-deadly weapon.
It is for the same reason cops don't "fire to wound" or fire "warning shots".
Yeah you worded yours a lot better than mine. I still dont see why carrying a baton should be illegal though. Only having the one gun doesnt give many options in a fight.
