It depends on where you live.  Many states such as NY and NJ prohibit them where IL requires a permit and most states do not require them.  Check the info link below and then the store link when you're ready to buy!

Yes you do, In California you need a license to do almost anything.

those are called squibs, and you will need a license, or a licensed pyrotechnician or explosives expert to use them.

Wow.\n\nYes.  You can keep a baseball bat (or any kind of club-like device)near your seat in your car.  However, if that baseball bat is there for self-defense, there's a good chance you're going to get arrested for section 12020(a) of the Penal Code.\n\nSame thing with some types of knives.\n\nYou can legally carry a gun as long as you have had a concealed carry permit issued to you.  But please don't.\n\nI'd recommend you read through the section I quoted above, but even then you're not going to be an expert on what kind of things might be considered an illegal weapon by law enforcement.

No.  There is a form you have to fill out (we call it the yellow sheet).  One of the questions it asks is whether or not you are a U.S. cititzen.  If you answer "no", that's going to be your answer when you want to purchase a gun.

OK - There is a huge difference between Taser and Stun Guns!\n\nThey are both legal in almost every state.  Check the reference below for more legal stuff.\n\nTasers - these pistol shaped devices manufactured by Taser Intl. fire two darts at ranges from 15 to 35 feet max depending on the cartridge used.  Civilian model (M-18) is limited to the 15 foot cartridge.  They use a high amperage so they produce only 50,000 volts.  This is one of the most effective devices I have ever used.  If the cartridge darts miss you can reload quickly or use the taser as an extremely powerful stun gun.\n\nStun guns - these devices require you to make direct contact with the target.  They use a lower amperage so require a higher voltage.  They range from 100,000 to 950,000 volts.  They cause intense pain, momentary muscular contraction.  These will give a great distraction to facilitate an escape.  My personal favorite is the lady lite stunner, 650k at the link below.\n\nPepper Spray - a very effective self defense option.  there is no difference between mace and most other basic sprays.  If you want power in your spray go for DPS or Fox Labs.

Yes. You can get a license to own an automatic weapon, but the AR15 looks exactly the same. You fill out an application with a Class III dealer (only a few around)  & lay down a deposit. The feds do a hardcore background check plus the $250 fee per weapon. IF & when they clear you, complete the purchase, but they have the right to no-warrant search your house at any time to inspect the storage conditions. Call your local ATF office, explain you're a collector & want to figure out the process. Also be aware that some states (Ca, NY) have additional regulations that the feds will not care about, so they may license you in Ca, but that doesn't prevent your local/state cops from busting down your door. There's also regulations about transport & such. Do lots of research.

You don't.\nIf you want one legally, you have to apply\nfor a special permit from the ATF.\nI doubt very highly that you'll get one.\nIf you do get one, don't get caught.\nA air gunner had one on his air rifle, it got confiscated,\nhe got arrested, went to court after over a year in prison,\ngot a very, very big fine, and went back prison. \nDon't screw with the ATF. \nIf you don't know what that is, Alcohol, Tabbaco, and Firearms.\nIt's the Feds.\nGo ahead, try it, I love it when I hear of people in the news for trying stupid things like that, I laugh my azz off.

Most states in the west like Texas and Georgia have a law that a civilian can own a firearm legally.  Once it is displayed in public view for all to see.  If you are driving it must be displayed on the dash board of the vehicle.  I don't know of any other states at the moment.

Assuming you have a back-yard telescope, then you do not need a permit.\n\nIf you've built your own array of radio-telescopes, call town hall.

As a prior resident of Oneonta, New York, it was forbidden to have air guns, cap guns, or any guns excluding the use of police weaponry.\nMy brother was ticketed while shooting an annoying squirrl (which he missed), but he happened to do it as a police officer drove by.\nSo to answer your questiomn, it is illegal by the State of New York to hold any harmful weapon of any kind in ones pocession.\nSo if you have one, don't tell anybody. Or throw it away. \nYou can et a big ticket like my brother Jeffery the 2nd.\n\nGood Night!

I'm sure you have to take a state-approved safety course to apply. After that, you probably apply for the permit. You should have a current address that matches your license.

I have NEVER heard of such a thing as a "police license". What is this?

I would say it depends on your states laws on it. As some states its legal to carry mace (with being certified as a concelaed weapon or device )while others very illegal. I know in New Mexico, where I am it is currently legal to own one however if your ever stopped it is illegal to conceal any weapon. It must be out in the open and in any crossing with a officer you must notify them immediatly you are armed. I know though the state is currently working on a law for it and it has been talked either banning it from the public to carry or make persons take a class at there expense to carry one. Check with your district attorney or ask a peace officer in your area. The city Im in just recently banned the public (civilian) from carrying tasers in public, its kind of conflicting right now since its only a local ordinance made and some say it could conflict with the states statue soon to come out. I do know it is totally illegal to carry mace, weapons or tasers into military installations or have them on your person/car on a base.\n\nI do have experience and carry one on duty. I would say it is a good device however I think any joe shouldnt be able to carry one as it can also be deadly to some. To carry mine me and fellow officers had to take written tests, courses on proper uses, and proper situations to deploy it and then were tasered with  x-22 tasers to feel the effect as same we have to be maced once a year to carry it for certification. I know the classes we took here from a trained instruction person it took us all a month in training on its proper use and testing to ensure everyone was widely aware of its capabilities and effect, and again said what situations to properly use it in. We hardly use it unless the situation really needs it. The cops tv show you just see all the good situations they require it to be used where as I have only used it twice in a year, being the other guy had a gun or large knife. So I wouldnt just deploy it just because billy joe is fisting up.\n\nIm guessing you want one for self defense. I know most manufacturers, specially like Galls, GT, etc.  will NOT sell any x-22 type guns used by law enforcement to the public or any similiar. I know some companies sell to the public but ones sold to the public are not as good as a x-22 and very less effective, as I dont blame them for doing this. I wouldnt want the 17 year old Im about to confront with one either.\n\nBut call your district attorneys office or local pd and inquire it.

I know you have to go through gun safety class and have a permit to carry.\n\nHere is a link to the state site:\nhttp://www.dps.state.mn.us/bca/CJIS/Documents/CarryPermit/permittocarry.html
