Yes. If caught the fine is $500-$1000 and possibly 3-6 months in federal prison. New York Consolidated Law Penal Law.

Article 265. Firearms, taser guns and Other Stun Weapons 265.00

15-a. "Electronic dart gun" or Taser Gun means any device designed as a self defense weapon, of which the purpose is to "tase" or stun by an electrical shock. = Taser Guns!

15-c. "Electronic stun gun" or "Taser Gun" means any stun device of which to stun or paralyze a person.

Article 265.01 Criminal possession of a taser gun weapon in the fourth degree. A person is guilty of criminal possession of a taser weapon: (1) He possesses electronic dart gun, electronic stun gun, taser gun or stun device. SUMMARY: Possession is banned of Tasers / Stunning Devices in New York. Sounds good for anybody with a loaded pistol to commit robbery, rape, or both on a dark street at night. Guess I'll have to be careful were I walk, or at least wear body armor so I have a fair chance (sort of) to kick the assailant in the crotch before he fires again at my head!
