Eh, what's up doc? Looks like the army is on the move. I better hop to it and stay out of their way

A big taco sounds fantastic right about now

They actually refuses to even vote on it for several years now. This is deliberate.

The law still being on the books means you can/will be charged, and also prevents many/most places from shipping or selling it to you.

You should call the department of public works tomorrow and see if they picked them up. Unless someone just like stuck them in their garage, DPW might have grabbed them.

I'm not sure about Woonsocket, but I know our trash cans are all serialized and assigned to specific properties.

As someone in law enforcement, I second this. Stun guns will not be effective against another individual if they have multiple layers on, not to mention only a temporary shock. Like the commenter above, pepper spray is a great tool because it can be sprayed from a distance and also, if used effectively, causes temporary loss of sight and great pain that allows you a chance to escape.

the bird sanctuary?

As far as I know, you need the city’s, because the truck lifts them up to dump. They can’t even be too close to each other, usually.

Gun control exists explicitly so that cops can slaughter black people without any opposition. This has historically been the case ever since the first gun control we've ever proposed in America back in the 1800s. Modern gun control exists because people like Ronald Reagan wanted to disarm the Black Panthers. Liberals are counterrevolutionary idiots whose ideology is based on nothing but feelings. They talk a big taco and it comes to actually ending income inequality there silent. Gun control exists to make the most vulnerable people in our society even more marginalized insusceptible to violence from the state and right-wing actors.

D&L guns sells tasers and pepper spray. I'm sure other gun stores sell the same things. just bought both like 2 weeks ago

Gotta PMCS those vehicles somehow

It's drill weekend

It’s also illegal to have a night stick or police baton. FFS.

I’m more concerned about having some sort of protection than getting a ticket for carrying a stick around.

If you’re willing to travel to Pawtucket, I keep American Muscle Corps very clean. We also have a very friendly environment and community.

Liberal gun owners unite.

Eighteen (18) and over in RI you can carry a stun gun.

On their way to pick up deflated Chinese ballon

Not sure. It's pretty dumb. I opt for a baseball bat myself

Well, it is a legal way to acquire a license in this state. Doesn’t even have to be your own home city department as long as you do business there. Any pro 2nd local chief has “shall issue” verbiage by law. The out of state license is to show compliance with safety standards and knowledge of CCW practice. Firearm safety isn’t rocket science and doesn’t needed to be treated as such. Reciprocity was the incorrect term to use.

Edited*

I bought a flashlight taser years ago when they would still ship to RI. You can still buy them out of state or have it shipped to someone you know out of state. Even so, a small taser isn't going to do much for you besides buying you some time to escape if you're lucky, and you have to have it on you at the moment.

I'd try taking a self-defense class for women. Same idea as a taser, it only buys you a small amount of time, but you don't have to carry it with you. My yoga teacher is also a taekwondo black belt and I wouldn't mess with her. She's tiny but evil lol. Find someone qualified to teach you a few basic things and you can carry those with you for the rest of your life. Don't think that just because you're petite you are 100% helpless. Your goal isn't to win fights, but make someone think twice about fucking with you and buy a few moments to escape. And don't forget cardio is your bestie in those cases.

We have a lot of laws on the books that don’t pass constitutional muster. That’s just the way of Rogue Island, our forefathers committed arson and burned down the Gaspee, after going against the crown they made sure the right to bear arms was in the State constitution. Then 250 years later the State legislature banned so called king fu weapons, because they where afraid of the Ninja.

You sure can, you can also ask for a tax break from the department of taxation, doesn’t mean you’ll get it.

I’m not aware of anyone requesting and being granted reciprocity from any other state, especially a blanket license like Utah.

Hell, even people in CT and MA have to still apply for a license here, and it’s still held to the same standard, regardless of your status elsewhere.

RIGL 11-47-42, which prohibits stun guns and tasers was struck down by the federal court as unconstitutional in March of 2022.

The AG’s office stated they’d respect the ruling and did not appeal.

The law is still “on the books” as in the law hasn’t been updated, but as of now, you won’t be charged with a crime if you are found carrying one.

There is a bill that was proposed that would outline that anyone 18 and older can carry, which would codify it, but it hasn’t gone anywhere.

Correct, but you can apply for reciprocity based on that out of state license.

Having a license from any other state has standing in the state of RI.

Only a state of RI carry license will allow you to carry in RI.

Absolutely agree!!
