What about stun guns?

What are your thoughts on stun guns? Should anyone be allowed to have them? Should they be required to have a permit? Should you be able to open carry or conceal carry a stun gun?

They can't kill someone, well I guess they can, but it would take a certain set of circumstances that are highly unlikely (from what I understand). I would love to get one. I don't know how regulated they are in my state.

I'd rather not have to be that close in order to neutralize the threat. I prefer a 38.

I wish I had one at work. Sometimes we get some crazy people come to the walk up window at the pharmacy.
At least, well, I hope it would be less likely to kill someone than a gun.

So instead it's better for them to get close enough to you to use your weapon against you? IDK.

The public does not need access to this (the kind that shoot the little prongs):

I see no problem with these though:

Oh, HEY!! Congrats on getting your black belt too!!

We just had our testing yesterday. My son is now a green belt-Recommended, my husband and I are camo belt-decided, and my daughter (Tiny Tiger) is a yellow belt-decided. We all went up a full belt rank. :)

I carry a knife all the time. If I am that close, I think I'll just use that. But I would love one of those flashlights!

I too have trained in Martial arts
and I am a good shot
and I can use a bow and arrow
and a knife.

I also have attitude.
I believe in making myself a less desirable target.

Do you even need a permit for a stun gun? I think I would rather have a handgun.
