whats the penalty for having one?

Death, probably.

 

But seriously, maybe some of the experts can chime in, but I would absolutely think its a felony which would preclude you from ever owning a firearm.

I've herd of people getting them confiscated and not charged, but i wouldn't bank on it.

Why is it even being considered? I don't think you should look at a law and say "Well I might break this depending on what the penalty is..." It's a law, tasers are not allowed in NJ, so you're probably better off not owning one.

Just trying to minimize stuff i have to put in a safe deposit box in PA.

Thats only IF i come back to NJ from Nevada.

Even CA has no restriction on tasers.

Welcome to NJ, like CA, but more liberal...

I actually live in the las vegas area but have been to CA a few times.

CA more restrictive on certain things.

10rd magazines ar15 needs a non removeable magazine or evil feature delete.

I think piston resistration is mandatory.

some other things like can't have oc/pepper spray over a certain size.

Police are thugs.

I should add that alot of CA people move here(for lower taxes) and screw this state up.

So clark county is more like california then the rest of NV.

...............and CA has this silly 1000' school zone BS.

In some counties in CA you don't need a taser. You can apply for a concealed carry permit and it can get approved. Try that here in New Jersey and let's see how far that application gets you.

ouch

I wonder what their logic is for banning them mine only has a range of 15 feet.

A car or truck can be a very deadly weapon also, why don't they just ban them also.

Your thinking logically, most politicians in NJ are incapable of that, that's how we ended up with all these stupid laws. What does the hollow point law do? encourage criminals to use FMJ's? that way they can blow through their intended target (assuming they can actually hit them) and hit some innocent person behind them.

 

 

As for pepper spray I believe you are limited to containers no more than 3/4 of an ounce.

My Bear Spray is 9.2oz.

There are bears in NJ where my parents live.

So if i decide to go hiking then what?

I do belive its better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6.

Sooo you are asking what the penalty of being in possession of a taser is because you are considering keeping your taser in NJ, and you also have pepper spray that is like 12 times the legal size......do you think that you are entitled to carry pepper spray that is illegal in size just because you feel like going for a hike and are afraid of bears? Does that give me the right to illegally carry my pistol through Trenton because I feel like driving through there, but am afraid of gangbangers? And you state all this on the internet then you use the saying: "better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6". I'm sorry, but that quote is not meant to be used by someone who is INTENTIONALLY breaking the law, please don't ruin it for the rest of us who do everything we can to obey the law.

I don't know about bear spray, it's possible that there are exceptions for that, but I don't know. I would make sure of the law before you bring it here.

I did't mean i was was going to carry said taser but keep it at home.

 

 

 

I would rather break a law then be eaten or murdered.

If you're afraid of being eaten by a bear, then don't freakin go for a hike in bear country

 

And keeping a taser in your NJ home is STILL illegal.

If ever you had to use a taser in self defense, you will not be able to invoke a self defense claim either at criminal or civil trial. Anytime you invoke a self defense claim, your conduct up to the point of using force has to be innocent; violating the law ahead of time (unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose)will destroy any chance you have with self defense.

 

Furthermore, the court will not allow the jury to hear that you used it in self defense, per the rules of criminal procedure and the rules of evidence.

 

Judged by 12 vs carried by 6? The jury is not your friend--the jury will only be instructed that you were in possession of a prohibited weapon (to which you will have no lawful defense). Remember, any claim you want to make to the jury has to be approved ahead of time by the judge. This is why Brian Aitken was unable to argue that he was moving between residences, thus asserting an affirmative defense to the weapons charges (for which he was convicted).

 

My advice--keep it out of New Jersey.

OMG - I'm going to be sure not to use a slingshot for self defense either - after all, those be illegal in Joisey too.
