Amazon won’t ship them here and there is conflicting information on the net due to the recently changed carry gun rules in the city. Just curious! What do you know? Also would you carry a stun gun or taser if you had to go out to run an emergency errand or buy food after dawn or dark?

of course they are illegal. just buy some bear spray off the Target website. They'll ship to the boroughs. Amazon/Walmart and Dick's Sporting goods won't, however. Bear spray reaches 30ft. Pretty good weapon against hood rats. And we all know who the hood rats are.

Buy it any way possible. Better to deal with a court with a good lawyer than to see your own brains spill out in front of you.

You can buy pepper spray at certain local pharmacies in the city. That's where I got mine

Yes, I have pepper spray. You can buy it at the gun stores legally. But I was asking about stun guns and tazers. I noticed that Amazon doesn't ship here

Nope.

If innocent civilians could protect themselves against violent criminals in this city, that would be a TRAVESTY!

I bought a 50,000 volt stun gun several decades ago. I got nervous keeping it in the house and eventually tossed it.
I am sorry I did.

Yeah they don’t ship to NYC or NJ. Was suggesting an alternative unless you feel comfortable buying them from people who sell on the streets. If you really want one that’s a route you can go. We are in NYC can almost get anything one way or another

NYC has the 2nd strict weapon and gun regulation in the country, the 1st city with the most stringent gun laws is Chicago.

Goes to show you how strict regulation does nothing to restrict gun violence but take away the freedoms of law abiding citizens.

Criminals don't care about laws. You get it, most seem not to.
