I'm tempted to get one for my job just for some extra protection for all types of life in the forest.

what are you interested in protecting yourself from in the forest?

mainly crazy people. It shouldn't be too bad but you never no who or what you'll run into. I'll be in a soft shell camper. Although i hopefully will be in a fairly public space I do feel a little more vulnerable and there are possibilities I'll be there on down times when not as many people are around. I'll be in there for 5 months. I'm going to get some bear spray but I wouldn't hesitate to use the taser on anything that threatened my physical being .. it might now do anything but i'd try it! I'll probably have a forest radio so I'd be able to get help eventually.

This was a neat read as I skimmed over it. As for permits well my thought on that is, it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. If you are concerned with permits, find out what the laws about weapons in your state are.

In my state if your weapon is in the open it is not concealed. So when I get in my truck to travel I put my pistol on the seat so it is not concealed. This is just for my state. I will tell you that when I go camping my pistol goes with me. Actually if I go anywhere my pistol goes with me.

Doesn't matter your weapon of choice for personal protection the thing is having enough guts to use it. Don't draw a weapon and talk about it, someone will take it from you and use it on you. Corkey is right though in many states mine included, tasers, pepper spray and stun guns are considered weapons and could get you into trouble without a permit. I doubt though that you'd be charged if someone had attempted to assault you.

From everything I've read they are legal and no permit is needed for the state of california.

I just wondered if anyone knew anything about them if I was looking into getting one. What should I look for. Sort of like buying anything, if someone has had one they have a better idea of what to look at?

I love shooting cans with my airsoft pistol. Its a 1911 USP model. If it wasn't so nasty outside I'd print some targets and shoot em.
