Instructions Enclosed
Stun guns
are a powerful and non-lethal method of
self-defense
, dangerous and effective enough that use is restricted in some locales;
Hawaii
- Illegal to buy/sell or own a stun gun
Massachusetts
- Illegal to buy/sell or own a stun gun
Rhode Island
- Illegal to buy/sell or own a stun gun
Michigan
- Illegal to buy/sell or own a stun gun
City of Chicago
does not allow buying, selling or owning stun guns.
Wisconsin
allows stun guns, but with more restrictions than most states. For example, you must have the same Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) license necessary for a firearm to carry a stun gun in Wisconsin unless you're transporting it in a case or are from out of state.
Though legal, you cannot order a stun gun by mail if you live in
Connecticut
.
Other than these places, you are free to purchase and carry a stun gun with no legal restrictions.
It used to be illegal to buy/sell or own stun guns in
New York
. But thanks to a new law effective Spring of 2019, you can now order.
Manufacturers' instructions and manuals shipped with the products state that a half-second shock duration will cause intense pain and muscle contractions, startling most people greatly. Two to three seconds will often cause the recipient to become dazed and drop to the ground, and over three seconds will usually completely disorient and drop the recipient for at least several seconds. TASER International warns law enforcement agencies that "prolonged or continuous exposure(s) to the TASER device’s electrical charge" may lead to medical risks such as cumulative exhaustion and breathing impairment.
Legal range of stun gun voltages is between 100,000 and 300,000 volts
To use a stun gun, you must be close enough to press the device against the body of an attacker. The electrical prongs on the stun gun incapacitate by overloading the attacker's nervous system and muscles in a matter of seconds. (wikipedia:
An
electroshock weapon
delivers an electrical shock aimed at temporarily disrupting muscle functions and/or inflicting pain without usually causing permanent injury.
Many types of these devices exist. Stun guns, batons, flashlights and prods administer an electric shock by direct contact, whereas TASER conducted electrical weapons (CEWs) fire projectiles that administer the shock through thin flexible wires. Long-range electroshock projectiles, which can be fired from ordinary shotguns and do not need the wires, have also been developed.
Though the two terms are often used interchangeably, stun guns are actually direct contact weapons that work mainly through pain compliance by affecting the sensory nervous system.
It can also cause some muscular disruption, but that generally requires 3-5 seconds of direct contact.
In comparison, a TASER is a long range weapon that incapacitates the target by disrupting voluntary muscular control through the motor nervous system.
)
The law recognizes no difference between 'high' voltage and 'low' voltage stun guns at this time, and the effects are not that dissimilar except in extreme cases where the youth or health of the person being stunned may prove an issue.. The most common voltage for a stun gun is between 100,000 and 300,000 volts.

According to Ohio State University, 0.1 to 0.2 amps are enough to kill. The typical stun gun emits 4.5 milliamps, or 0.0045 amps, of current so is not lethal
&
The stun gun cannot be damaged by the continuous firing into an assailant. However: DO NOT DISCHARGE THE UNIT INTO THE AIR FOR MORE THAN ONE SECOND. REPEAT FIRING FOR LONGER DURATIONS CAN DAMAGE THE UNIT AND VOID THE WARRANTY!
