This page seems to focus only on their more modern day usage. Which of course makes sense. Clubs now and essentially have always been used as a weapon. But I would suggest mentioning their non lethal uses. They were commonly used by dock workers and the like to beat rope. In the past I have heard of other uses as well, most of which are now anarchistic. I know this is trivial but I feel it could add a nice touch. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.10.101.186 (talk) 07:16, 8 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
There is another Wikipedia page called
Baton (law enforcement)
that appears to duplicate, or at least to overlap with, this page. Thomas.Hedden (talk) 02:53, 13 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
