Questions people ask
Can I bring a taser on a plane?
Not in your carry-on. You can pack it in checked luggage if it's rendered unable to discharge accidentally.
What happens if you bring a stun gun through TSA?
It isn't allowed through the checkpoint. Stun guns are a prohibited carry-on item, so you'd need to check it or give it up.
