Depends on the location, Ramael. In my state, you can be a civilian owning a baton; it's just illegal to conceal it on your person.  Some states, it's completely illegal for civilian use, however. Meanwhile, something like a flashbang grenade isn't legal for civilians no matter where you go. It's a matter of degrees, you know?<br/><br/>Okay, I'll go off and edit. Not sure why, but lately, it seems like my reading comprehension has been at an all time low.<br/><br/>Also, i actually prefer the abbreviation CS, though "Shadow" or "Creep" would both be suitable shortenings.  :-)<br/><br/>Edit: The edit has been made.
