I was not exactly sure which cities deemed stun guns legal in Illinois so I requested my cousin for help. She was doing some kind of training to be a police officer here within Springfield and it turned out there were a lot of things I needed to understand.

Stun guns are legal. However, I need a valid Firearm Owner's Identification card or FOID before any person will sell me a stun gun. For an American resident above 21 years old and with no criminal record, it shouldn't be a problem.

Just last December, the U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago ruled for the citizens' right to possess firearms for personal defense outside the house, and this ought to apply to stun guns also.

That is good news because I have just been requested to do a coffee table book with a writer and we're going all around the state to be able to take pictures of a few of the famous and also lesser-known destinations.

What I dread most is evening photography. I recall one time I was taking a photograph inside Detroit. It was about 1 a.m. and I had not noticed a man approaching behind me right up until I felt something pointy behind my neck.

I broke out in cold sweat. He got my Canon EOS Mark II, my cellular phone, money, everything. If only I had something along with me at that time, just like a stun gun or a Taser or even pepper spray, then I might have had a fighting chance of immobilizing the man and going straight for the police station.

That isn't going to occur again for this job. No freaking way. Right now, my partner and I are arranging for the travel. This might take 12 months, in order that we could cover all 4 seasons in the state.

I figured we would go to the "safer" places first and proceed to the not-so-safe spots soon after I obtain my FOID as well as a stun weapon. A number of citizens still do not reckon stun devices legal in Illinois but we know better how necessary one is.
