Is it legal to own one in one's home for the purpose of self-defense (not for carrying it around) in MA?

This would make a fine defensive tool. You shouldn't have any problem owning it, but in an overly restrictive state like MA, discretion is the better part of valor.

I would love to help with this question but I use mine as a security guard and not permitted to carry a firearm. Sorry...

not really sure but if so I would imagine getting hit in the face at close range with 19 bb's would hurt very badly. but if i were you I would buy a real gun, get a revolver, they are inherently safe and easy to use, make sure your intruder in INSIDE your house, make sure you kill them, so you have only one story, and a dead intruder will not sue you. firm believer in the 2nd amendment!!!

You can check it. Carrying it may result in it being confiscated since it is considered a strike tool.

Indoor use is the same as outdoor, except you don't have the worry of wind blowing it back on you. Indoors is easier. Fact is if you ever get to such a point that you have to use it you won't care where you are, only that you had it to neutralize the assailant. It is illegal to use except for self defense. Never take a mace canister to a gun fight.

In New York State section 265 of the Penal Law relates to Weapons and similar items which is unlawful to possess. I'm unaware of any subsection that would qualify this as a weapon. Courts could upon their discretion not allow this into the Courthouse.

In my opinion, it wouldn't be the best for self defense. Alil heavy to wield quickly, more of a camp blade. But you could use it of necessary I guess.

technically yes but in some states it may be illegal to have a knife this size on you in public

very good for self defense if you know good technique. I am an instructor of a karate school, and also teach traditional weaponry. this is my choice of weapon for home defense. I don't have to worry about a stray bullet hitting my children if my home is broken in to at night. also, I don't worry as much about a kid getting a hold of this like I would a gun. and with good technique, you can give the word "disarming an opponent" a whole new meaning.

I am unfamilar with the term "push" when combined with dagger. But I do not believe this tool is illegal under California law. I cannot speak to the laws of other States.

It is street legal. But laws vary in all states. The best is to check with local law enforcement.

I live in California and there is no law that states that you need any type of permit to use or carry a taser, any type of taser is completely legal in the state of California, it is the best less lethal self defense weapon you can use, however it is always recommended that you take some type of training and get certified to use because it is not a toy

I am in Illinois. Even though I have a conceal carry license, under the old rules it is not considered conceal carry if it was 1) unloaded and 2) in a case that completely surrounds the gun. Check your local laws for transport, but I would think that as long as you have it unloaded and fully encased, you are ok. Some places also say you need to carry the ammo separately from the gun, and both must be locked (Washington DC for example). Hope this helps.

You"ll be crazy to use this for self or home defense for it is long and unwieldy, especially in the hallway. Even in a bedroom, you'll end up chopping up furnitures, instead of the intruder(s). Not to mention if there are more than one bad guys with guns, you're toasted. Get a gun if you're serious about HD.

This is a wallet.... Not a modification to you're weapon. It is perfectly legal.

Yes it is. I live in California. And it's legal to have since civilian only allow to have 10 rounds or less mags or tubes

This is currently not restricted in any state. It is always advised to check your local codes and ordinances for usage in your area prior to purchasing.
