    A. No person shall have in his possession, except within his own domicile, or carry or use within the corporate limits of Leonardtown a revolver or pistol of any description, shotgun or rifle which may be used for the explosion of cartridges or any air gun, B-B gun, gas-operated or spring gun or any instrument, toy or weapon commonly known as a "peashooter," "slingshot" or "beany" or any bow made for the purpose of throwing or projecting missiles of any kind by any means whatsoever, whether such instrument is called by any name set forth above or by any other name.

    It's amazing there's any resistance to stun gun ownership. The Sun is wrong about one thing: the county's ban goes back 30 years.

    Back when the constitution was written a stun gun involved a kite -an electrical storm and a key held by Ben Franklin--so you know thats what they had in mind when they wrote the 2nd amendment.

    I'd rather carry my knives and some pepper spray instead of a stun gun but it's good to have more legal options.
    Now if only we can get the control freaks to recognize our right to keep and bear arms like guns.....

    As a reminder -- these laws were complete bans not unlike DC's handgun bans that were eventually ruled unconstitutional in Heller.
    Otherwise, the devices are largely unregulated.

    So how many places are left that still have bans on the books in MD?

    This. Are there any municipalities where bans are in effect?

    And this may be a dumb question, but this IS Maryland after all...any restrictions on carry? Locations, while consuming alcohol, that sort off stuff...or is it completely unregulated?

    Was looking into getting a Taser Pulse.

    Thanks

    No bans in Maryland

    You probably can't buy online because of other Maryland laws, not that apply to you, but apply to the seller.
