Expandable baton holder

An expandable baton holder comprising:

• a holder body formed with a cavity for inserting therein an expandable baton;
• and
• a counter-pull-force device located in said holder body,
• wherein a nesting force is a force that maintains telescoping sections of said expandable baton nested within each other, and an expansion force is a force needed to overcome the nesting force and allow the telescoping sections to be drawn out so the expandable baton is in its fully expanded orientation, said expansion force being greater than said nesting force, and said counter-pull-force device has a baton holding force, which is a force that keeps said expandable baton held in said holder body, and said baton holding force is greater than said expansion force, so that when said expandable baton is pulled out of said holder body, the baton holding force keeps a portion of said expandable baton held inside said holder body, while said expansion force pulls each telescoping section out of its nested orientation so that said expandable baton is now in its expanded orientation, but the portion of said expandable baton is still held inside said holder body, and a release force, which is greater than said baton holding force, is a force that overcomes the baton holding force of the counter-pull-force device and pulls said expandable baton completely out of said holder body.
