I thought I read the volume of Pepper spray can only be X amount?
Also, what's the deal on battery operated 50,000/100,00 Volt Stun Guns.

I want to get the Kimber Blasters and keep a few in the house and in the cars.
Same with the stun gun. I like the small ones. Would like to keep in the car.

Legal or a problem to have these in the console or in the house? Thank you
 
Without a CWFL, the maximum amount of permitted pepper spray or other chemical weapon is one half of one ounce. I think I read somewhere that the limit does not apply when once is licensed to carry a concealed weapon.
Regarding the electronic-weapon issue, I really have not heard of any voltage limitations, but there may very well be one.

Edit: I just read where you would be keeping in the home as well. The limitations do not apply in the home, only when carried on the person away from the home on "enforceable" property (i.e. public property.)
 
If you want to carry away from home.


citizens in Florida can carry up to 2 ounces of pepper spray open or concealed as well as a stun gun or taser open or concealed.
