3. What state do you live in? Some states require a carry license for stun guns.

In my state (NC), I'm pretty sure less-lethal weapons like stun guns are certainly allowed with a carry license, and you don't even need a license for pepper spray or a heavy cane (though be aware that swinging a club willy-nilly can rise to the level of deadly force). I'm not really up on my Tazer laws because I carry a Kimber pepper spray in that role.

If your state's carry and licensure rules prohibit stun guns and pepper spray, you should work to get them changed. Some jurisdictions that are paranoid about weapons in the hands of noncriminals do ban them (Massachusetts and possibly New Jersey treated pepper sprays as firearms for a long time, and may still) but most of free America doesn't, that I'm aware. Some do require licensure, though, so check your state laws.
