A concealable baton scabbard or carrier for use with an expandable baton includes
a tubular cylindrical baton housing having an interior chamber adapted to receive
a baton. First and second wing members are attached to substantially diametrically
opposite sides of the baton housing and each wing member has at least one belt
receiving slot adapted to receive a belt that can be worn about the user's waist.
The baton scabbard is configured so that the wing members and baton housing establish
an outer profile when worn on a belt that does not deviate significantly from a
normal line of tension created by the belt whereby the scabbard or baton are substantially
undetectable under an article of outer clothing worn by the user in overlying relation
to the scabbard.
