Brass knuckle legality?

[W1nds0rF0x]

So, at the show today I see this lady selling these electro-zap stun gun things that are shaped like a pair of brass knuckles except they are made of plastic. Seems to me that this would get you in trouble more than it would help with self defense.

Where is the gun show?

 

[W1nds0rF0x]

The show is at Lamar Dixon in Gonzales. Sure it's a gimmick like a lot of that kind of crap, but the difference it THIS gimmick is good for getting you in trouble. As I understand the same as carrying concealed w/o a permit.

How so? It's just a stun gun.

Also, I learned it was the current that kills. But then I've people refer to some voltages as "lethal voltages". My wall socket is 110V. There was one stun gun there that supposedly 2.4MV. Is the current incredibly tiny with these?

No it's not, look at the picture above. It's a stun gun that you wear like brass knuckles. IF it is construed to be the same then it would be an illegal weapon like the knuckles. Further to the point, it's usefulness as a stun gun compared to a regular one or to a "Taser" is probably very close to crap, so it's definitely a gimmick. Why take the chance?

Why are brass knuckles illegal anyway? I don't think anyone would prefer being stabbed.

 

[W1nds0rF0x]

Probably the same or a similar stupid reason that fully automatical knives are illegal, it's been that way for a very very long time.

I don't know, but I have one that says "250,000 volts" that I bought at a gun show probably 25 years ago and having electrocuted the dog fxxx out of myself with it by accident once I can tell you it will probably give any rapist or robber a different point of view for at least a couple of hours.

Same reason why butterfly knives are banned and the reason there was an assault weapons ban... STUPID, IGNORANT POLITICIANS!!!

It wouldn't work because its tracking mechanism would malfunction in the cloud of hot air.

Ok so I have a question about real brass knuckles. Now of course if you hit someone with them I am sure that is assault with a deadly weapon or such. NOLA jump in here with the law if you have it.

My question is are they illegal to have on you. I bought a "belt buckle" basicly brass knuckles with a threaded pin for the hook to hook into a loop. The other end of a cowboy style belt wraps around brass knuckle like it would be a cowboy belt buckle.

Now this was just really a novelity buy that I bought a few years back more or less. I certainly do not carry them. Yea I bought 2 LOL.

Rs 14:95- "designed for probable use or customarily used as a weapon."

on phone so cannot post all. TECHNICALLY, if you convcealit- illegal.

Simply possessing it- not illegal

use it in a fight/ self-defense - probable legal issues


All TECHNICALLY..... jury or judge them changes everything.

Another technically vs. reality issue

Yes, that's horrible! We must ABSOLUTELY BAN ALL forms of Lexan AND Plexiglass from being in the hands of ANY consumer at ANY time. It is a serious, SERIOUS danger that we just can NOT allow!!! Plexiglss may not be bullet proof, but ou could probably kill at least two people before they break and with four pairs in your pockets that is EIGHT PEOPLE DEAD!!!

Apparently enough people that she sells a lot of them, according to her.


Nevermind.

Pardon? You think that's a trinket, let me jab you in the neck with it and we'll see how trinkety you think it is then.

Yep, I think it is a trinket. I have also been shocked by them. No big deal.
