sure their legal 1shott, they wouldn't sell them if they wern't legal would they?
taser inc. sells a civilian model of the X26 15amp LE model, think they call it the X26c, it has half the amps of the LE model and cost a K, plus theres classes offered at springlake vo tech for certification and proper usage, cost around $80, but FWIW don't take my advice on anything thats likly to cost you your ass if you use it, talk to a attorney, cause I would think that if you happened to catch the theif in the act and you shot him with a taser, it would be considered an act of aggression on your part and if it didn't cause you repercussion from your local PD, it would certainly open you up to civil liabilities, meaning the dude you tased would be driving your truck and living in your house after the settlement.
