Even in permissive states, laws that can differ regarding what weapons are allowed with or without a permit, and more concerning where they can go. […]

If you need a good, trusty weapon for self-defense, but a gun just isn’t your thing and pepper spray isn’t effective enough, a taser might be the right choice.

And when I think about a state that’s absolutely synonymous with excessive legislation, I always think of New York. New York has so many laws they have to be able to reach the Moon and back.
