Asps are illegal in NY. Unless there is some security guard provision, then no.

i am a peace officer in niagara county there are police baton certs you can get, just like the hand cuff cert. which will allow you to carry a baton as for the extendable ones you can buy them from some companys with credentials. (weather or not your client will let you carry thats a whole diffrent story) and you will be liabale if you use one, remember as a security guard you have no more or less authrity as a everyday citizen. if you hurt someone while on duty self defence will most likely not hold up in court certification or not. ive seen guys get jammed up on this a thousand times. its best not to do it but thats my opinion. good luck

holy crap I didn't know certain slingshots and throwing stars were also illegal in NYS, thanx for the quoting. what are gravity and switchblade knives? I know the mall here sells tons of those ones that have the spring assists on them, but according to what I asked the shop owner they aren't illegal because a button does not open them, you still have to open it up by using the blade, how true is this?

4. "Switchblade knife" means any knife which has a blade which opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device in the handle of the knife. 5. "Gravity knife" means any knife which has a blade which is released from the handle or sheath thereof by the force of gravity or the application of centrifugal force which, when released, is locked in place by means of a button, spring, lever or other device.

The laws are so vague I'm not sure weather or not they are legal >_> I guess that is NYS plan all along lol
The knives at the mall have to buttons, but they do have a tab on the blade that when pushed on, flips the blade out sideways and locks it into place with a little metal tab, the flipping motion of the blade is spring assisted but must be first activated by hand.
like this:
CRKT Ignitor T Spring Assisted Knife, Plain Edge, CR6860 - YouTube
so I guess that is illegal? how can they sell them all over the place in a public mall then?

O good, so they aren't technically illegal then. I don't have a fishing or hunting license yet (I have my hunters safety course, just need to buy a license) so I should be good anyway. I'm glad, I didn't want to say anything before but I have a ton of these knives, I like to collect them lol, but they all need pressure applied to the blade, no button, so I'm good.

Sometimes, I wish the state of NY was a tiny bag of dog poo so I could light it on fire and leave it on Bloomberg's doorstep so I could laugh as he crushes it under his boot.

TS after reading your responce and seeing what type of security you do whay dont you just get your armed guard card and call it a day. lol, no cuffs or batons needed then. just a thought. after the price of the cuff and baton class and not to mention ur guard card and 8 hour annuals every year it will most likely all cost the same in the end anyway??? food for thought.
What?
I have no idea what you were trying to type there, but unless you are licensed to have an asp then you cannot carry it. Some types of guards are licensed for carrying them while others aren't.
