The recognition of stun guns as successful self defense weapons is beyond a doubt at its highest level. This for the most part is due to the enormous technology in today’s weaponry. This wonderful technology has produced stun guns that are dependable, helpful and cheap.
The local and state laws in every state vary and will depend on whether or not you can in fact own one of these wonder devices.
In many states stun guns are legal to carry for defending yourself. Forty two states allow individuals to carry a stun gun. They are considered to be a less lethal weapon.
Hawaii, Illinois, Mass, Michigan, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island however do not allow you to carry stun guns. These restriction laws are against the Second Amendment but we as sellers are restricted from shipping to these states.
Hawaii never states that anyone carrying a stun gun will be charged but does restrict any possessions of electric guns.
Some of these states such as Wisconsin and Michigan consider carrying stun guns a Felony Class E but doesn’t state what the punishment by law is.
New York and New Jersey penalties are pretty steep with a fourth degree offense and punishment up to 18 months in prison and/or a fine of $7500.
I can go on about these chosen states, but the point here is this takes away from you as citizens to carry a self defense weapon. Criminals are out there in record numbers in today’s world. What is one to rely on to help prevent a violent crime on oneself?
I don’t know about you but I have to wonder who the law is designed for, the criminal or the victim?
