IS IT LEGAL FOR AN ORDINARY CITIZEN TO OWN A TASER?? by EriMma1: 3:29pm On Apr 05, 2023
I'm asking because I want to own one.

I just feel at this juncture every one should own a taser for self defense and lately I've been thinking of getting one.

So, I wanna know if it's legal to have one as an ordinary citizen here in Nigeria.

Trying to upload pics but it's not responding with pics selected.
Modified. Pics attached finally. I love the lipstick design taser

Don't know about Nigeria but I know you can own a taser easily in the western world since it's not a firearm and doesn't kill..Most ladies use it to protect themselves from sexual or any form of harassment from men.

Personally, I recommend it and I think it's something anyone can own.

I wonder why it's a big deal here. 🤔🤔.

Stop misleading him with wrong info. A teaser is legal here in Nigeria, visit Amigo supermarket or Grand Square in Abuja you can buy legit.

I can actually answer your question and back it up under the law but if I do, I will get a ban, let us just be reading comments of the privileged few who are above ban.

It is legal to own a teaser in Nigeria, I will recommend you also get a pepper spray. Remember to deploy them only when necessary e.g in a dangerous situation and needs to escape.

The only people allowed to hold such things like daga and co are a certain tribe from Nigeria and if you're not from there, it's a crime

Mmm .. that pepper spray one needs to be at close range to be able to hit the target and I don't even pray to come in close contact with a target.

l still prefer the taser.

it’s totally legal but your choice of taser may not be a good fit, you need it to have enough electricity to destabilize an attacker

you need to be in closer contact if you’re using a taser, pepper spray is in gas form, but taser needs body contact to work
