Would that include a eg that's sole purpose is NOT to be used on people and display only?
And that last sentence wouldn't cover possession? No plans to use an EG other than self defense. Anything electronic is technically capable of transmitting electricity into a human if used improperly.
You need to get off the sole purpose part about EG's in HI. Because HI law defines what an EG is. And what it's sole purpose in HI is moot. If you're asking about other states, then IDK because I haven't looked up other states laws about EGs.
"And that last sentence wouldn't cover possession?" HI's EG law specifically states possession. Go read it and understand it so you do not break the law.
" Anything electronic is technically capable of transmitting electricity into a human if used improperly. " The key is "mobile". So if you have the fan that's plugged into the wall and cut the wire and shock someone, that doesn't fall under using an EG. But the TENS units are mobile, so are prods, so are muscle stimulators. This is how vague the HI law is and why we opposed it.
" No plans to use an EG other than self defense." Plans fail all the time. And due to the written law, you have to be very careful not to zap another person. Zapping yourself is totally legal. Example: You're showing a family member the stun gun portion and the arch jumps from the unit to them and they require medical assistance. You just broke HI law. Or say you want to take a training class, this would be a non-firing training class. Most LE/MIL classes require the person to be tased themselves. But then the instructor would be breaking the HI law.
