When it comes to less-lethal self-defense options‚ tasers are a distant second place to pepper spray but they are steadily gaining in popularity these days among the civilians. Tasers offer unique capability‚ able to reliably drop an assailant in their tracks with an accurate hit‚ and they have a much lower risk overall of inflicting injury or death compared to firearms. flag of New Hampshire But‚ taser laws are significantly different from state to state‚ and some states heavily restrict them. How about New Hampshire? Are tasers legal there? Yes‚ tasers are completely legal to purchase‚ possess and carry in New Hampshire. However‚ you cannot be in possession of a taser outside of your own home if you are a convicted felon. New Hampshire has surprisingly permissive taser laws‚ and as long as you’re 18 years old‚ you won’t have any trouble getting your hands on one or carrying it legally. There’re a few jurisdictions in New Hampshire where local laws are significantly more restrictive‚ but overall the legal landscape is pretty promising. Keep reading to learn more… How Tasers are Classified in New Hampshire Tasers are specifically defined under New Hampshire law as “electronic defense weapons‚” described as any electronically activated non-lethal device that is capable of immobilizing or incapacitating a person temporarily using electricity. Obviously‚ that descriptor fits tasers perfectly. What is also interesting‚ and something you should pay close attention to‚ is that the definition of “electronic defense weapon” defines them as non-lethal. That’s great concerning the New Hampshire state statutes‚ but practically there is more to consider. Sit on that for just a moment and I’ll circle back to it in a few sections. 159:20 Self-Defense Weapons Defined. In this subdivision: I. “Electronic defense weapon” means an electronically activated non-lethal device which is designed for or capable of producing an electrical charge of sufficient magnitude to immobilize or incapacitate a person temporarily. … Are Stun Guns Legal in New Hampshire? Yes‚ stun guns are likewise completely legal in New Hampshire the same way that tasers are. That’s because they too fall under the definition of electronic defense weapon. Practically speaking‚ the way that stun guns and tasers are used is very different and the devices are considered distinct weapons‚ but the New Hampshire State statutes make no such distinction. Ultimately‚ you should pick whichever one works best for you… Can You Carry a Taser Openly in New Hampshire? Yes‚ open carry of tasers is legal in New Hampshire as long as you may legally be in possession of the device and the device itself meets the definition laid down in 159:20‚ above. Note that you don’t need any kind of permit to openly carry a taser or stun gun in New Hampshire. Can You Carry a Taser Concealed in New Hampshire? Yes! Happily‚ you can legally carry a taser or stun gun concealed in New Hampshire‚ and you won’t even need a permit to do so. However‚ you’ll still need to be a legal possessor and the device itself must be legal according to the definition in the statutes. Are there Age Restrictions on Taser Ownership or Possession in New Hampshire? Yes. You’ll have to be at least 18 years old to purchase‚ possess‚ or carry a taser in New Hampshire. What Do You Need to Do to Purchase a Taser in New Hampshire? If you want to purchase a taser in New Hampshire‚ all you need to do is head to a dealer that stocks them. Stun guns are usually freely available‚ but for a taser you’ll likely have to complete a background check. If not‚ know that your personal information will still be recorded and sent to the manufacturer of the device. That is because they are serially linked to the purchaser. As long as you have no felony convictions or no convictions of misdemeanor domestic violence‚ or a few other disqualifiers‚ you should be good to go. Interestingly‚ though‚ New Hampshire law says that felons are allowed to possess a taser or stun gun so long as it is only on the premises of the place that they live. Nowhere else. This‚ at least‚ gives some people with past crimes an option to protect themselves lawfully. 159:21 Possession by Felons Prohibited. Any person who has been convicted of a felony in this or any other state who possesses an electronic defense weapon away from the premises where he resides shall be guilty of a class B felony. Neither the whole nor any part of a sentence of imprisonment imposed for a violation of this section shall be served concurrently with any other term of imprisonment. … Is Training Mandatory for Taser Ownership in New Hampshire? No. You do not have to undergo any special training to purchase or carry a taser or stun gun in New Hampshire. Where Can You Carry a Taser in New Hampshire? Tasers and stun guns can go nearly anywhere in New Hampshire‚ but they can’t go everywhere. Most of these restricted places are “the usual suspects” where you would expect to see weapons barred from‚ including schools and school grounds‚ the secured area of airports‚ courthouses‚ courtrooms and annex buildings‚ and all government facilities of any level‚ to include municipal‚ state and federal installations. That includes the post office‚ don’t forget! When Can You Use a Taser to Defend Yourself in New Hampshire? Even though tasers aren’t classified specifically as deadly or dangerous weapons in New Hampshire‚ that doesn’t mean that they aren’t capable of inflicting death or great bodily injury. They are‚ and that’s why I called attention to it earlier… If you frivolously use your taser or stun gun on someone‚ or if the use of your taser on an assailant is considered excessive force‚ you could be setting yourself up for serious charges… That’s because tasers and stun guns can‚ have and will continue to cause serious bodily injury or even death- even when used according to the design specifications and in the correct way! They are truly less-lethal weapons‚ despite being categorized as non-lethal weapons according to New Hampshire law. That means there’s still a possibility of serious harm when they are used. For that reason‚ you should only ever use your taser on someone when you are genuinely in fear for your life or in fear of great bodily injury. See 159:23 below. 159:23 Criminal Use of Electronic Defense or Aerosol Self-Defense Spray Weapons. – I. Any person who uses an electronic defense or aerosol self-defense spray weapon on a law enforcement officer or another person with intent to commit a crime punishable as a misdemeanor shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. II. Any person who uses an electronic defense or aerosol self-defense spray weapon on a law enforcement officer or another person with intent to commit a crime punishable as a felony shall be guilty of a class B felony. III. Neither the whole nor any part of a sentence of imprisonment imposed for a violation of this section shall be served concurrently with any other term of imprisonment.

 Author of The Dark Secrets of SHTF Survival and the online course SHTF Survival Boot Camp I have been writing articles and doing survival courses for years‚ and while it is much easier to show the importance of basics in real courses‚ it is a bit harder to do that in my articles. That’s because we‚ as humans‚ tend to look for flashy things. We love quick and interesting facts that will occupy our attention. But you must also prepare for the basics so that you can perform those things during the confusion‚ panic‚ and mayhem of SHTF. You must observe your surroundings before anything terrible happens. And then you must plan for terrible things. Basics are simply that: basic – and because that we often overlook it‚ or forget it. For example‚ an article with news about the latest development in tensions between the US and Iran with all the flaming rhetoric will catch more attention than an article about how to grow tomatoes. We look for flashy stuff‚ but the majority of us need to go back to basics (or at least to refresh them). Every now and then‚ I like to remind people about that. Why I don’t like list posts Lists about what to do and what not to do in the form of “10 things to do” or “10 things not to do” or “10 things to have” are not my favorite‚ because some people tend to think those “10 things” are definitive lists that solve all problems. But‚ as we write‚ it is easy to put it in that way as a concept. You‚ as a reader‚ must understand it is a list that continues‚ and as long as you understand that‚ you need to constantly refresh your basics. Big world events usually will happen no matter what you do or think about it.  You need to operate in your “small circle” where you actually can change things for real. Let’s start small‚ inside our small circle‚ and let’s do only “2 things to do today” You cannot know for sure how your surroundings will change around you when the SHTF‚ but you can have a pretty educated guess. You just need to be observant. Observe people. Observe the people around you‚ it can be worth a lot to you one day when the SHTF because you might already have information that tells you who your neighbors really are and what they have. Think a bit outside of the box (like you should always do). Consider how observing things about the people that are close to you could have big significance for you once the SHTF. Who of your neighbors will be dangerous when SHTF? Who will be weak? How many of them have weapons in their homes? How many have resources or skills that may be useful (or maybe dangerous) to you? Do they have addiction problems or “interesting” habits? Thinking out the box does not mean that you are going to sneak in other folks homes or ask them openly about these things. It means that by observing their activities you’ll try to figure out their settings. In real life‚ it does not have to be anything sophisticated. For example‚ if your neighbor has a “Molon Labe“ sticker on his bumper it can be used in your planning for the when SHTF. Think in terms how all of that might be used in your favor or against you once the SHTF. Observe resources. Resources are everywhere around us today. They are just not ours because we have easier and more practical (or more legal) ways to get resources today. Perhaps you are not noticing those other resources. Try to think here‚ too‚ out of the box and spot those “other” resources today that are gonna be important when SHTF. Gas tanks in gas stations‚ water pools or rivers‚ fruit trees‚ firewood‚ plants…and‚ yes‚ even shops that are close to you with all the stuff inside. You may think that something is illegal today‚ but in terms of very serious SHTF legal and illegal gets very blurred. When SHTF‚ those who take longer to adapt to the new rules usually have weakest results. In a real-life example from my own experience‚ by the time I realized that the S had hit the fan so hard and seriously‚ it was too late. I finally realized it was perfectly fine to go to shops or malls and take food (just take it) in order not to be hungry in the middle of a civil war‚ but by then other people already took most of it. My period of adapting was a bit too long there. Now‚ of course‚ use common sense. Maybe you are not gonna be in that kind of SHTF. If there is still law some things are simply illegal‚ but the concept is the same. Look for the change of rules and adapt to it. Observe interesting spots. “Interesting spots” are something that people who have not gone through a collapse sometimes have problems understanding. You cannot think about your surroundings in the SHTF with a mindset from normal times. Good advice here comes in the form of a saying that goes something like‚ ”if you are living close to a river‚ you have to know to swim.” Basically‚ no matter how well prepared you are you need to stop and think about how new settings are gonna look around you once the SHTF‚ and how all that is going to change your plans. To be literal‚ no matter how many or how good bug-out vehicles you have‚ or backup means of transport‚ bikes‚ airplanes or whatever‚ if you have river in your surroundings‚ you’ll need to be ready to swim across that river‚ even if it is not on your first choice of route to your BOL for example. That river is an interesting (or problematic) spot‚ and since an SHTF scenario by its definition‚ is something unexpected‚ it is a situation where you will need to adapt and probably change plans. You will simply need to acknowledge those “interesting spots” and be prepared for whatever comes. Another example‚ if in your surroundings you have a prison‚ it may look today just like that – a prison‚ a building with a high fence and guards‚ nothing really particularly important there. But once the SHTF‚ I see there are a whole bunch of dangerous people who might be free and out on the street. Or‚ if you have an army base or police station near you‚ during an SHTF time‚ it is a place of huge violent events‚ and so on and so on. It does not have to be anything big. It can be simply a bridge near you. Today‚ it is a bridge‚ tomorrow when SHTF it is a checkpoint may be – a huge danger and obstacle for you. Think about the interesting spots around you. You have to practice. I have been in situations where I would be awoken in pitch darkness‚ and I would be forced to eliminate a threat or move away from it in a split second. It is something that rarely can be done in a conscious way.  It needs time‚ practice‚ and the right dose of adrenaline. But I emphasize here the word “practice.” You need to practice.  Your most important decisions of life and death can happen in split seconds‚ and only practice will condition you in the direction of perfection. It is nothing new. It has been used for ages in different kinds of training. You do not have necessarily practice being awoken in the middle of the night and shooting the right person. Start with “small” things. For example‚ practice how fast you can wake in the middle of the night by an alarm. Then‚ without eletricity in your home‚ gather all the important items and leave home. Then check what you forgot. How much time did you need for that? Then work in the direction of perfection. Later you can throw in some kind of “complication”  – for example‚ you woke up‚ gathered important items‚ left the house‚ and tried to spot the intruder (your friend) inside the house‚ yard‚ or similar. Just throw in more and more obstacles and complications. By doing that you will spot a lot of flaws in your planning‚ and that is exactly the point of practicing. Everything is different when you throw in speed and adrenaline‚ and you can practice that too. Maybe you will realize that all your planning was good‚ but everything failed simply because your flashlight was not right at the reach of your hand when you woke up‚ or you do not know where your glasses are‚ or you cannot find your shoes in pitch dark because a small dose of adrenaline sent you the wrong way. You may have a perfectly good rifle or gun‚ or a good bug-out bag‚ or bug-out vehicle‚ but everything may go to s..t because you simply failed to have clear plan with your family members of what to do (or what not to do‚ where to gather in the house‚ or hide‚ or use signs or…) if something happened in the middle of the night in pitch dark and confusion. What about you? Do not forget‚ an SHTF event‚ by its core definition‚ is something unexpected. So you need to practice operating in that condition‚ in confusion‚ panic‚ mayhem. You need to condition yourself to it. Are there ways that you practice your observational skills? Do you spend time observing the things and people around you? Do you create plans based on your observations? Let’s talk about it in the comments section.
