In the UK I would say not.
A stun gun is a 'prohibited weapon' covered by section 5 of the Firearms Act 1968. It is not a firearm.
Unfortunately it is deemed no worse than possessing a knuckle duster, knife or CS gas. In fact the stun gun causes less injury than the others. The fact that it is 100,000v does not make it lethal. It will just cause muscle dysfunction which will in turn cause you to collapse. As soon as the voltage is stopped the pain will stop. It will not cause any lasting damage. There is more of a likelihood of a secondary injury caused from falling.

for a first offence you would be lucky to get let off but you will have a family check to see if their is a reason for your need to have a 100,000stun gun maybe your first time caught but this cant be your first offence you could get 180 hours community service if you are lucky still at least it is not murder
just think if you stunned someone with a bad heart not cleaver my friend you would be looking at a murder charge lucky for you they caught you

Depends on the state. Some stated prohibit any kind of stun gun altogether, while other restrict how many volts they can be, or when and where you can carry them.

Probably no if you are just caught in possession of it, but if you used it in this current climate id say there a fair chance of a custodial sentence

It is a firearms offence - what do you think? You are looking at doing time!!!
There is no legal reason for having one so apart from the offence of possession they will also suspect that you meant to use it to rob or rape!
Not clever!!!!!

Depends on what you do with it and how law enforcement determines you have it.
If someone simply tells them you have one at your house, who knows?
If they find it while stopping you for traffic, its a lot worse. You prob goin to jail.
If you use it on someone attempting to defend yourself in a definite assault on you, not sure. Depends a lot on where it happens and what state.
If you assault someone with it or take it to school, you going to jailhouse.
