U.S. State Laws Related Stun Guns and Taser Devices Please note: Staysafeladiess provides the following for informational purposes only. Laws are subject to change and we do not actively monitor state law changes. If you have any questions or concerns you should contact local law enforcement to determine whether it is legal to possess stun devices for self-defense in your area. By purchasing from Staysafeladiess you affirm that you are at least 18 years of age. a. State Laws In General. Stun guns and taser devices are legal in most U.S. States. Stun guns and taser devices are illegal and prohibited or legal with restrictions in the following U.S. States: State Restrictions on Stun Devices Making Them Illegal: • New York • Rhode Island Stun Devices Are Legal in the Following States If Restrictions Are Met: District of Columbia – Legal if over the age of 18 to protects ones person or their property. Hawaii - Pursuant to Hawaii House Bill 891, starting January 1, 2022, it will be legal for private citizens in Hawaii 21 years of age and older to own a taser and other electrical guns. Illinois - residents of Illinois must have a valid FOID card, as is currently required for firearms. Residents of Illinois should email a valid copy of the FOID card to staysafeladiess@gmail.com. In Illinois, it's illegal to buy or possess a stun gun or Taser without a valid state-issued Firearm Owners' Identification Card (known as an FOID). There are exceptions, including if you're an on-duty law enforcement officer or military servicemember, or if you don't live in Illinois and have a firearms license in your home state. In order to get a FOID, you must submit an application, along with evidence that you meet the qualifications, including: (1) you must be at least 21 years old or, if you're younger, have your parent's written consent and don't have a history of juvenile delinquency or a misdemeanor conviction; (2) you haven't been convicted of a felony or certain domestic violence crimes; (3) you aren't addicted to narcotics; and (4) you aren't subject to a protection order that prohibits you from having a firearm. The seller will conduct a background check, and you must wait 24 hours before you can actually take possession of the stun gun or Taser. Your application will be denied—or your card revoked—if the Department of State Police finds that you don't meet the qualifications. (430 Ill. Comp. Stat. §§ 65/2, 65/8; 720 Ill. Comp. Stat. § 5/24-3 (2019)). Even if you have an FOID, pursuant to 720 Ill. Comp. Stat § 5/24-1 (2019), it's against Illinois law to have a stun gun or Taser under certain circumstances and in certain places, including: • when you intend to use the weapon unlawfully against someone else • while you're masked or hooded in a way to hide your identity • in a place licensed to sell intoxicating beverages • at any licensed public gathering where admission is charged • in a school, college, or courthouse • in or within 1,000 feet of a public park • in public housing, or • on public transit. Massachusetts – residents of Massachusetts may buy and carry a stun gun if they have license to carry firearms, as long as the electronic device is in a shape that resembles a gun. That explicitly rules out "covert" electronic weapons that resemble other objects like pens. (Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 140, §§ 121, 131, 131J (2019)). As with other types of firearms, Massachusetts law prohibits certain people from getting licenses for stun guns, including those who: (1) are under 21; (2) have been convicted of a felony, violent crime, weapons violation, or domestic violence; (3) are subject to domestic violence protection order; or (4) are subject to an "extreme risk protection order" (ERPO) which prohibits gun possession by those who pose a risk of injuring themselves or others with firearms. Because of these restrictions, you'll have to undergo a background check before getting a license for a stun gun. If you're served with an ERPO, you must also surrender your license, along with any stun gun in your possession or control" (Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 140, §§ 131, 131s (2019)). Michigan - Before 2012, Michigan outlawed the possession of any portable device that directs an electrical current designed to injure, kill, or temporarily incapacitate the target. That definition would apply to both stun guns and Tasers. The only exceptions were for on-duty law enforcement officers or certain other individuals (like probation officers and licensed private investigators) who were authorized and trained to use the devices as part of their official duties. However, a Michigan appeals court ruled that a complete ban on consumer possession and use of all stun guns and Tasers, whether in the home or openly carried in public, was an unconstitutional violation of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms (People v. Yanna, 824 N.W.2d 241 (Mich. Ct. App. 2012)). Michigan then changed its law to add an exception to the ban on devices that use electro-muscular disruption technology (like Tasers). Residents of Michigan possess stun guns or tasers in a reasonable way, as long as: • they have a valid Michigan license to carry a concealed pistol • they've received training in the use and risks of Tasers, and • the device has an identification and tracking system that allows it to be traced to the buyer (presumably through the darts) when it's first used. Residents of Michigan should email a valid copy of the CPL card to staysafeladiess@gmail.com New Jersey - New Jersey's law on prohibited weapons says that it's a crime to possess a stun gun, defined as any weapon or device that emits an electrical charge intended to disable a person—a definition that applies to both Tasers and direct-contact stun guns. However, after a lawsuit was filed challenging New Jersey's stun-gun ban, the U.S. District Court issued a consent order declaring that the law violated the Second Amendment to the extent that it "outright" prohibited possession of electronic arms. Thus, it could not be enforced. The order was stayed for 180 days to allow New Jersey to enact new laws or regulations that would set reasonable limits on possession and/or carrying of stun guns. (N.J. Stat. §§ 2C:39-1(t), 2C:39-3(h) (2019); New Jersey Second Amendment Soc. v. Porrino, Consent Order, 3:16-CV-04906 (U.S.D.C. N.J. 2017)). New Jersey did not change its stun-gun law after the consent order. As a result, the prohibition is still on the books, but it is not enforceable as a crime. New Jersey did add a regulation in 2018 stating that no one younger than 18 years old may possess a stun gun. But if a minor is found with one of these weapons, law enforcement will simply seize the device. (N.J. Admin. Code 13:54-5.8 (2019)). Stun Guns in New Jersey are legal for sale and possession with only two restrictions: (1) must be 18 years of age or older to purchase or possess, and (2) you must not be a certain persons prohibited against purchasing or possessing one as per N.J.S.A. 2C:39-7(a). Wisconsin - proof of CCW License is required and must be presented. Wisconsin residents should email a valid copy of the CCW License to staysafeladiess@gmail.com b.

(b) Any electric gun in violation of subsection (a) shall be confiscated and disposed of by the chief of police. SUMMARY: Possession and sales of Stunning Devices are banned in Hawaii until January 1, 2022. 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 ,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.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Use (each "Dispute" and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.
Binding Arbitration
If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, we will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Harris, Texas. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Harris, Texas, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms of Use.
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Site be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
Restrictions
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually.
