Electric guns such as TASER devices are legal to own, but the buyer must be 21 or older and complete an in-person background check and briefing at a licensed dealer (HRS 134-82, 134-84). Pepper spray in Honolulu must be sold by a licensed dealer, and we are licensed under ROH § 41-27.
For Byrna launchers and PepperBall devices, no permit is required, but you must be 18 or older. For TASER devices, there is no buyer permit, but you must be 21 or older and complete the background check, signed declaration and safety briefing in our store. We walk you through it at the counter.

Plus you support a local Hawaii business.
