**Nicotine** · 08-03-2009, 04:08 PM

im going to be going on a plane ride soon.

i bought myself a hand held 400,000w tazer....

if i pack it in my luggage, in it's box, without batteries, think it'll be an issue?

i wont be taking it over the boarder, just within the usa....

**DSM4Life** · 08-03-2009, 07:50 PM

Have you finally resorted to tazing men to get them in bed ?!

**spywizard** · 08-03-2009, 07:53 PM

i travel with my handgun all the time... lockable case and let them know you have it... that easy

**Bojangles69** · 08-03-2009, 07:57 PM

Yeh but don't the STATE LAWS vary?

Like in texas those mfkrs could give a rats ass if you walk around with a gun but in jersey they will lock your ass up.

When your crossing state boundaries your subject to an entire new scope of laws and ordinances. This is all just what my common sense is telling me though I could be wrong.
