Compact Gun
How old do you have to be to purchase/carry stun gun?

I am only a minor i was only thinking of buying a 100,000 volt compact stun gun but i do not want to go to a store and then a worker call the police on me for trying to purchase a stun gun

The first question you need to answer is "Are stun guns legal where I live?". You can find out more here: http://www.ledefensetech.com/stungunlaws.htm. Even if they are legal, you'd have to have an adult buy one for you. I wouldn't sell and most stores wouldn't sell to a minor without some sort of parental consent. For the most part, in places where stun guns are restricted, minors cannot use them. If you're in a place where they are legal, then you probably should check with a local lawyer or the police to see if there are any laws in your city about the use of stun guns. Plus it's never a bad idea to introduce yourself to the local cops and get on their good side.

If they are not legal, you might try pepper spray. While there are some restrictions there: http://www.ledefensetech.com/pepperspraylaws.htm, for the most part they are much less restrictive than stun guns and minors are encouraged to carry pepper spray for personal protection.

One thing to keep in mind is the use of these items are considered assault if you don't use them to protect yourself, someone else or your property. That also means you can't use it because you're mad or playing a joke or something like that. Carrying is a privilege, and those can be taken away.
