mikelets456 78 Posted October 1, 2019 I was not sure where to post this but my daughter now lives in NYC and I wanted to defend myself when I go up there. So my question is, are tasers and stun guns legal to carry in NJ and NY? There is the occasion that we would go into NJ for dinner or whatever. I am NOT a NJ/NY resident if that makes any difference as well. BTW, I did look at the laws online and they were typically vague at best.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyDigz 1,793 Posted October 1, 2019 NJ - NJ2AS believes it is legal to carry tasers/stun guns. Their reasoning is here: https://nj2as.org/nj2as-taser-victory-separating-facts-from-fear/ Evan Nappen and other “firearm celebrity lawyers” in NJ have the opinion that tasers/stun guns are not legal to carry outside the home. NY - I haven’t been following NY/tasers closely, but quick googling isn’t bringing up any restrictions since the prohibition was overruled earlier this year. Suggest you do your own research or contact a NY lawyer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oakridgefirearms 224 Posted October 2, 2019 I recall hearing about a lawsuit a few months ago in NY over tasers. From what I remember NY was still not recognizing the SCOTUS ruling that said they cannot be prohibited. So, I would recommend thorough research before carrying one in NY. Didn't the NJSP come out with guidance on carrying tasers in NJ? Anyone have it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handyman 5,682 Posted November 1, 2019 I carry. I just figure if I ever need to zap someone, I'm not going to be sticking around until the cops show up. They can sort it out with the dude smoking on the pavement. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
