Tasers/Stun Guns

[Bananabandit]

Im nearly a year late on this update. Someone made a comment to me on here about tasers being legal.

So that eventually went into a weird rabbit hole of searching.

So here I am, to ask why I should not get one? Money not an issue. The Taser brand seems to be solid, which may or not be confirmed from our neighborhood law enforcement.

Im not crazy, my mother had me tested.

you have guns .. just get a electric chair instead .. never seen a law on them lol ..

I do not have one. But I can see the utility.

If I were to get one the reputation of the TASER brand and it's demonstrated effectiveness in the hands of LE would certainly factor highly in my choice.

Unfortunately unlike a cheap harborfreight tool, you cannot "try them out" to see how they compare to the brand name.

One of the biggest factors that they enjoy over a firearm for self defense is that there are places where one is legal and a gun is not.

If you worked in a government building where guns are prohibited by law for instance. It might be a good choice.

Getting caught with a stun gun is a much lower penalty than getting caught with the firearm, and getting caught without the gun is not nearly as bad if you have the taser.

YES they are now legal, Although when I called the state police to talk about it they said they have not re wrote the pinal law so its not a good idea to have one and it will probably be appealed apealed,And most cop are not aware its legal and will arrest and charge you with a crime.
Davis Sport shop in Sloatsburg NY has them for sale on the shelf.

Whats your plan for when the five second ride is over and the person you tasered is now really, really pissed off and you have no other force options readily available?

Most cops are unaware of anything except coffee and donuts.

Yes, get one... I've had a wonderful 650kV blaster for quite a long time

I have eaten a donut in at least four months, thank you very much!

Youre not a cop. You said so yourself.

Deputies are very elite personnel in my community.

This is almost exactly what the NYSP told me a couple years ago when I called to ask about the 7 round magazine limit.
The lieutenant I talked to said the 7 round limit was overturned statewide but its still on the books and most cops will arrest you for more than 7 rounds. He also said it was a bad idea and advised not to carry more than 7.....I now carry 11.

Yes. So the ban is unconstitutional. Which means who knows what apparently because the penal law still says no, and you can be arrested. I found somebody submitted a bill to adjust the penal law and that was put in last year but it's at like stage 2 of 6.

Does anybody here know of any store in NY that sells these? I bet not.

The only thing a stun gun for is zapping your friends when they are not looking. I wouldn’t use it in any defensive situation unless you plan on getting punched.

Only if its from behind

Why would you ever want to use a taser? Are you looking to catch and release criminals? If someone came at you threatening to take your life you need to meet them with the same level of violence. You don't give them a second chance.

Ok thanks dad. Ill go back to my room.

You could presumably bring it places legally a pistol can’t go. I suspect you could also “brandish” it in situations in which displaying a gun would be a felony but I am not a lawyer.

While you're trying to find a store that will actually ship to NY with the ban still in place, The police will be eagerly waiting and ready to get raging boners with drool running down their chin just to make an arrest while finding anyone in possession of one in NYS.

Won't matter if it was deemed unconstitutional last year. Lots of shit is unconstitutional in NYS. Nothing has been updated and there is an old pending bill that's going to continue to sit and go nowhere.

No you're not grounded yet. Serious question, what situation could you see yourself in that you would rather have a taser over your handgun?

Doubt that they would let you through a metal detector with a taser. Displaying a gun or a taser without intending to use it will get you killed.

Guerilladefense and thehomesecuritysuperstore ship them here...

Being in a car accident in a school zone ?

But i'm thinking there is a situation in public you don't believe somebody wants to kill you but they do want to inflict physical harm (e.g. kick your ass, etc.). There are likely scenarios in which pulling a gun in self defense could be frowned upon in court in which pulling pepper spray or a taser wouldn;t be.

This is a guess though, as I don't know the legal implications

Ok then it's settled.

Domestic dispute?

I'm kidding, jeez.
