STATE RESTRICTIONS:
CONNECTICUT: Legal with Restrictions Connecticut Criminal Law Title 53 ? Crimes, Title 53a ? Penal Code, title 54 Criminal Procedure, Chapter 950 Section 53a-3 Definitions: (20) "Electronic defense weapon" means a weapon which by electronic impulse or current is capable of immobilizing a person temporarily, but is not capable of inflicting death or serious injury. §53-206. Carrying and sale of dangerous weapons Any person who carries upon his person? an electronic defense weapon, as defined in 53a-3, or any other dangerous or deadly weapon or instrument, unless such person has been granted a written permit issued and signed by the first selectman of a town, the mayor or chief of police of a city or the warden of a borough, authoring such person to carry such weapon or instrument within such city or borough, shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars or imprisoned not more than three years or both. No permit shall be issued to any applicant who has ever been convicted of a felony. The issuing authority may request the applicant?s finger prints and full information concerning his criminal record and make an investigation concerning his criminal record and make an investigation concerning the suitability of the applicant to carry any such weapon. Refusal of fingerprinting by the applicant shall be sufficient cause to refuse issuance of a permit. Whenever any person is found guilty of a violation of this subsection, any weapon or other implement within the provisions hereof, found upon the body of such person, shall be forfeited to the municipality wherein such person was apprehended, not withstanding any failure of the judgment of conviction to expressly impose such forfeiture. Any person who has been granted a permit to carry any martial arts weapon pursuant to this section may carry such weapon anywhere within the state. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to any officer charged with the preservation of the public peace nor to any person who is found with any such weapon or implement concealed upon his person while lawfully removing his household goods or effects from one place to another, or from one residence to another, nor to any person while actually and peaceably engaged in carrying any such weapon or implement from his place of abode or business to a place or person where or by whom such weapon or implements is to be repaired, or while actually and peaceable returning to his place of abode or business with such weapon or implement after the same has been repaired. (b) any person who sells to another? electronic defense weapon, as defined in section 53a-3, shall, within 24 hours after the deliver of such weapon or implement to the person to whom sold, give written notice of such sale or delivery, specifying the article sold and the name and address of the person to whom sold or delivered, to the chief of police of the city, the warden of the borough or the first selectman of the town, within which such weapon or implement is sold or delivered, as the case may be. Any person who violates any provision of this subsection shall be fined not more than one hundred dollars. SUMMARY: Section 53-206(a) prohibits the carrying of a Stunning Device on the person unless that person has obtained a dangerous weapons permit. However, there are no state-wide permits, only local permits ? the permit is only good in that particular town and would be illegal elsewhere. Anyone selling such a weapon must notify the chief of police with that information within 24 hours of the delivery. Therefore Stunning Devices can be sold and it can be kept in your place of business or home, but you cannot carry it on your person without a permit which is only good within the limits of the city in which it was issued.

NEW JERSEY: Illegal
New Jersey State Law. New Jersey Stat. Ann. Title 2C. New Jersey Code of Criminal Justice. Chapter 39-1. Prohibited weapons and devices. (Section "r" summarized from Chapter 2C:39-1) "Weapon" means anything readily capable of lethal use or of inflicting serious bodily injury. The term includes, but is not limited to all (4) stun guns; and any weapon or (this section refers to tear gas and has been updated in 1995) other device which projects, releases, or emits tear gas or any other substance intended to produce temporary physical discomfort or permanent injury through being vaporized or otherwise dispensed in the air. (t) "Stun gun" means any weapon or other device which emits an electrical charge or current intended to temporarily or permanently disable a person. Senate, No. 2871 -- L.1985, c. 360 Senate Bill No. 2781, as amended by the Senate Law, Public Safety and Defense Committee, prohibits as a crime of the fourth degree the possession of a stun gun by any person, including a law enforcement officer. A crime of the fourth degree carries a penalty of imprisonment for up to 18 months, a fine of up to $7,500, or both. Prior to being amended the bill classified possession of a crime in the third degree. {Editor’s Note: According to Len Lawson of NJ Legislative Council, (609) 292-4625) NJ does not classify crimes in felonies versus misdemeanors. The highest crimes are in first degree on down to fourth degree. A fourth degree penalty is a serious charge and is generally considered a misdemeanor in common terms. It is however an indictable offense. A fourth degree crime does contain "a presumption of non-custodial sentencing," meaning that there is not imprisonment if there are no prior convictions. In some cases the sentencing is obviated from one’s record if there is a period of good behavior following the charge.} The committee amended the bill to include a provision authorizing the Attorney General, at his discretion, to exempt law enforcement officers from the prohibition against possession stun guns. The bill also was amended by the committee to include stun guns in the definition of "weapon" in paragraph r. N.J.S. 2C:39-1. (Chapter 2C:39-1) (h) Stun guns. Any person who knowingly has in his possession any stun gun is guilty of a crime in the fourth degree. SUMMARY: Possession is banned of Stunning Devices in New Jersey.

TASER Questions
1. What is the difference between Stun weapons and EMD (TASER® device) weapons?
STUN WEAPONS: Traditional stun technology weapons operate in a 7-14 Watt range and interfere with the communication signals within the nervous system of the target. These stun systems primarily effect the sensory nervous system. Like static on the communication lines between the brain and the body, stun systems interfere with the human command and control systems. However, a small percentage of people with a very high tolerance for electrical stimulation can fight through the effect of these 7-14 Watt systems.
EMD WEAPONS: New type of defense weapon is the Electro-Muscular Disruption (EMD) Technology. EMD weapons use a more powerful 18 to 26 Watt electrical signal to completely override the central nervous system and directly control the skeletal muscles. This EMD effect causes an uncontrollable contraction of the muscle tissue, allowing the M-Series and C2-Series to physically debilitate a target regardless of pain tolerance or mental focus. The ADVANCED TASER® M-Series and TASER® C2-Series are EMD weapons -- specifically designed to stop even the most elite, aggressive, focused combatants. Rather than simply interfering with communication between the brain and muscles, the ADVANCED TASER and TASER C2 EMD systems directly tell the muscles what to do: contract until the target is in the fetal position on the ground.
2. What are the issues concerning the Citizen ownership of the TASER® Personal Defense Weapon?
There are restrictions in the consumer ownership of Electronic Control Devices (ECD) in HI, IL, MA, MI, NJ, NY, RI, WI and certain cities and counties, including Annapolis, MD, Baltimore, MD, Baltimore County, MD, Chicago, IL, Crawford County, IA, Denison, IA, District of Columbia, and Philadelphia, PA. . Please check the local laws before purchasing or carrying any type of electronic control device. Go to the TASERForce.com legal page for more details.
3. Are there any restrictions to fly or travel international with a TASER?
When traveling by air, TASER devices need to be placed in your checked bags and not carried on the plane. Also, do not try to take it out of the country (U.S.A). Leave it at home if you are traveling abroad. Also please check with your airline or other carrier for any new guidelines in advance of traveling.
4. Are TASER® Electronic Control Devices considered firearms?
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has stated that TASER ECDs are non-firearms in 1994 and 1998.
5. Is using a TASER similar to shooting a gun?
Not really. There isn't a kick or recoil with a TASER device but you will hear a loud pop like a balloon popping.
6. Is the TASER® device a lethal weapon?
No. In fact, TASER devices have been proven statistically to dramatically reduce injury rates to suspects and police officers as well as to increase personal safety and community security compared to any other use of force option. However, TASER devices are not risk free and may cause injuries, primarily from falls or physical exertions, so they should be taken seriously.
7. Are TASER® device more dangerous to people with cardiac pacemakers or affect the heart?
The ADVANCED TASER device’s output and the TASER C2 device's output is well below the level established as "safe" by the federal government in approving such devices as the electrified cattle fence. In a medical study of the Model XR 5000Ô electronic stun gun, Dr. Robert Stratbucker of the University of Nebraska Medical Center confirmed that the T-Wave does not interrupt the heartbeat or damage a pacemaker. Any modern pacemaker is designed to withstand electrical defibrillator pulses that are hundreds of times stronger than the ADVANCED TASER® device's output or the TASER® C2 device's output. The ADVANCED TASER® current of 0.3 joules is well below the 10-50 joule threshold above which cardiac ventricular fibrillation can occur.
Both the human heart and pacemakers are able to withstand the power of a defibrillator that emits around 300 joules ("joolz") of energy. A TASER emits less than one joule of energy. TASER devices have been used over one million times by either law enforcement or manufacturer without causing a single death.
8. Isn’t high voltage lethal?
High voltage, in itself, is not dangerous. One can receive a 25,000-volt shock of static electricity from a doorknob on a dry day without harm. The physiological effect of electrical shock is determined by: the current, its duration, and the power source that produces the shock. The typical household current of 110 volts is dangerous because it can pump many amperes of current throughout the body indefinitely. By contrast, the ADVANCED TASER® power supply consists of an alkaline 9-Volt battery that is capable of supplying less than three watts of electrical power for a few minutes.
9. Will a TASER® device cause electrocution?
No. The output is metered by the electronics and the electrical energy in each pulse is always the same, regardless of the target condition. The electrical output will not be transferred from one person to another even if they touch.
10. How can the ADVANCED TASER device be so effective yet non-injurious?
The ADVANCED TASER does not depend upon impact or body penetration to achieve its effect. Its pulsating electrical output interferes with communication between the brain and the muscular system, resulting in loss of control. However, the ADVANCED TASER is non-destructive to nerves, muscles and other body elements. It simply affects them in their natural mode. More importantly, no deaths have ever been directly attributed to the TASER.
11. What has testing revealed regarding the ADVANCED TASER device?
Anesthesiologist and specialist in medical electronics, Dr. Frank Summers, MD of St. Joseph's Hospital, Orange, California, directed tests of volunteers at St. Joseph's in 1971 and 1974. Dr. Summers stated, "...We undertook this [volunteer test] in the operating rooms at St. Joseph's Hospital. We had an assembly of cardiovascular surgeons, cardiologists... we had a real [TASER]. We tested extensively and made movies. The tests were impressive. We monitored all parameters of physiology, including electrocardiographs. The tests did not produce any lethal effects and we found that the background work that had been done did indeed pan out in practice."
12. What are the aftereffects?
A person hit with an ADVANCED TASER® or TASER C2 device will feel dazed for several minutes. The pulsating electrical output causes involuntary muscle contractions and a resulting sense of vertigo. It can momentarily stun or render an attacker unconscious. Yet, the ADVANCED TASER device's low electrical amperage and short duration of pulsating current, ensures a non-lethal charge. Moreover, it does not cause permanent damage or long-term aftereffects to muscles, nerves or other body functions. A January 1987 Annals of Emergency Medicine study reported TASER technology leaves no long term injuries compared with 50% long term injuries for gun shot injuries.
13. Must the TASER probes penetrate the body to be effective?
No. The electrical current will "jump" up to two inches as long as both probes are attached to clothing or skin. At most, only the 3/8-inch needlepoint will penetrate the skin. They have less energy than a spring propelled BB.
14. Does a TASER C2 device work on animals?
Law enforcement officers have successfully incapacitated vicious animals with various TASER systems. The TASER C2 was designed for human use which is why the probes are deployed vertically. Most animal's bodies are horizontal to the ground meaning you will have to adjust the way you hold the device in order to get both probes to hit your target.
15. How does an ADVANCED TASER M18 device work?
Upon firing, compressed nitrogen projects two ADVANCED TASER probes 15 feet at a speed of 135 feet per second. An electrical signal transmits throughout the region where the probes make contact with the body or clothing. The result is an instant loss of the attacker's neuromuscular control and any ability to perform coordinated action. ADVANCED TASER uses an automatic timing mechanism to apply the electric charge. The ADVANCED TASER releases an electric current in a pre-set time sequence (an initial seven seconds followed by several 1.8 second breaks for a total time of about 30 seconds in each cycle). This cycle ensures that the nervous system of the target does not recover instantly to allow him to remove the probes. The follow-on bursts disrupt the process of re-equilibration of the nervous system. While the target is disabled, the user can place the device on the ground and escape.
16. What if the TASER device probes miss?
Both the ADVANCED TASER and TASER C2 devices can be used in a touch-stun mode. You are thus provided with a final backup if the probes miss the target. Should you miss or engage a second attacker, you can touch the unit directly to the target and it will work like a powerful touch stun device.
17. What is the best shot at maximum range for the ADVANCED TASER device?
As long as the spread of the probes is at least six inches, the ADVANCED TASER will be extremely effective. To ensure that the spread is greater than six inches, the ADVANCED TASER should be fired at a target several feet away. The optimum shot is from seven to ten feet away form the target to achieve maximum effect. At seven to ten feet away - the spread of the probes will be approximately 16 inches, ensuring that the target receives the most efficient T-Wave flow.
18. Does temperature have a detrimental effect on the ADVANCED TASER device?
No. The ADVANCED TASER utilizes compressed nitrogen (an inert gas). The ADVANCED TASER compressed air capsules have successfully held their charges at temperatures of minus 20º F and up to 160º F. Moreover, altitude will not adversely affect the firing of an ADVANCED TASER. In addition, the temperature will not affect the T-Wave. However, as with any product containing polycarbonates and other thermoplastics, the ADVANCED TASER and Air Cartridges should never be left in direct sunlight.
19. What is a TASER C2 device, and why do you need one?
The TASER C2 device is a personal safety electronic control device that can stop threats up to 15 feet away. It works by launching two probes up to 15 feet from a disposable TASER cartridge. The probes deliver a scientifically designed electric signal that makes muscles lock up, therefore temporally incapacitating an attacker for 30 seconds so that you can get to safety and call 911.
20. Is the TASER C2 device or the ADVANCED TASER device the same model that law enforcement officers use?
No, law enforcement agencies use the TASER® X26 and the ADVANCED TASER® M26 that are only available to law enforcement. These are capable of recording data useful to officers in court. The TASER C2 device and the ADVANCED TASER M18 device are consumer models that utilize the same technology and stopping power in s smaller size.
21. Please describe the required activation background check process. How do you prevent selling a TASER C2 device to criminals?
The TASER C2 device is shipped out inactive and you will need to pass an identification verification check (a felony background check) to get the activation code. The manufacturer has taken on the task of screening the purchasers to make sure that convicted felons can't activate a TASER C2. You can do this over the Internet or if you don't have a computer, you can do it over the phone and a trained operator will give you the code that is unique to your TASER C2 to unlock it. Once the TASER C2 is unlocked, you will never need to do it again but there is a $9.95 activation fee that is good for up to ten units.
22. How many times can I use a cartridge?
The TASER C2 device comes with one TASER cartridge. As each TASER cartridge can be use only once, you may want to consider purchasing additional cartridges.
23. How does the TASER C2 device shoot out the probes?
The TASER cartridge uses compressed and inert nitrogen to launch out the points. The TASER cartridge is a one-time use system and delivers the probes and AFID tags at approximately 100 MPH.
24. What are AFID tags?
AFID stands for Anti-Felon IDentification tags. Each cartridge contains 20 - 30 of small, confetti-like tags that have the serial number of the TASER cartridge imprinted on them. If the TASER device is misused, the police will find these tags and can use them to identify the owner of the TASER device that was used.
25. What does the name TASER mean?
The TASER devices are named after a fictional weapon: Thomas A. Swift’s Electric Rifle.
26. What is the Manufacturer’s Lifetime Replacement Guarantee for the TASER C2 device?
In event you use the TASER C2 to defend yourself you can set the device down and run to safety. If the TASER C2 is stolen during your use of it for self-defense, file a police report and send a copy to the manufacturer for a free replacement unit. Your life is worth more than the cost of a TASER C2.
27. Is there a money-back guarantee for the TASER C2 device?
The TASER C2 comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee less shipping and handling on unactivated units with all original packaging. Once you've activated and registered the TASER C2, we are unable to issue a refund.
28. Is there a manufacturer’s warranty for the TASER C2 device?
Every TASER C2 comes with a 90-day warranty that ensures that the TASER C2 is free of defects in workmanship or materials for 90 days from the point of attempted activation. You may purchase a one or three year "No Questions Asked" warranty during the activation process that guarantees manufacturer will repair or replace any TASER C2 that fails to function for any reason for the length of the warranty.
