Unfortunately, Texas law makes a "billy club" an illegal concealed weapon. So even though I can carry as many pistols and 5.5-inch bladed knives as I want, I can't carry a short stick. (Depending on where you are, they're likely to call your axe-handle, baseball bat, or other striking weapon a billy club too.)

You can carry something that you have a legitimate non-weapon use for. So, for me a favorite is the 5-cell, c-cell maglight. I have taken my Japanese Jo staff along as a walking stick. It's 54.25 inches long and one inch thick of Japanese white oak.
