You might also think about getting an Umbrella Insurance Policy to help you pay for the legal bills you might have to settle if you "Taser" the wrong person.:)

In the UK they are sooooo illegal. my firends son has just been fined a huge amount just for having one.. I dont see the harm in them as they are a defensive deterrent rather than a weapon. A dinner fork in the wrong hand could kill etc.. I know the USA have very different laws compared to us though so im not sure of the legalities .. but i can imagine the litigation issues would be huge in the states.

I think it should be just like owning a gun. That is, only after the the owner has been trained and licensed. They can easily kill someone.

A lady in my neighborhood is going back & forth with a guy that she accidentally tasered in the nards.

She claims he was running up behind her on a jogging path at night and it scared her. He claims he was jogging, and was going to pass her. She got all worked up at just the prospect of something happening, turned around, and fried Jim & the twins. The guy is now claiming ED. Who knows.

I can not speak for all states, since each state makes its own laws. But in NY, most anything can be considered a weapon and a person can be charged with (and convicted of) "possession of a deadly weapon" for almost anything. Here's the trick. If you stab me with a fork or pen, or hit me with a baseball bat or golf club, besides being charged with assault, you can also be charged with "assault with a deadly weapon" and "possession of a deadly weapon", because you used the fork, pen, bat or club as a weapon.

So while anything can be used as a weapon and you can be charged with "possession of a deadly weapon" for almost anything, there are some things that are considered weapons whether you use them as a weapon or not and they included firearms, knives (over 4 inches in length), certain chemical sprays and certain electrical immobilizers.

So a person can only be charged with "possession of a deadly weapon" if he uses the item as weapon or if he is in possession of any of a small group of devices which are always considered weapons.

Then again, there are some states where anyone (over 18 except a convicted felon) can carry a weapon and some places where it is the law that you must carry a gun.:faint:

This is a tough one, but I don't think the general public has the knowledge of what a taser gun is capable of doing well enough to own them, even though lots of people do. I know they have killed people, so I don't think I would want to take the chance of using one on someone else. I think maybe pepper spray would be safer. I definitely wouldn't carry a gun with me!

I wish they would make a version that could be used on children that would render them silent and immobile for a few hours. It would be great to use in restaurants, movie theaters, and the like. What a great life that would be!

Men are just so touchy when it comes to their penises.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
