I live in florida and want to know if it is legal to carry or keep a stun gun or hatchet in my vehicle

I live in florida and want to know if it is legal to carry or keep a stun gun or hatchet in my vehicle.?
I live in FLorida and want to buy a Hatchet or Stun Gun, just to have in my car for protection. I also want to know if it is legal to carry the stun gun on my person. I am 18 and live in Putnam County Florida, if that helps. If not what do you recommend i carry, besides pepper spray?

A hatchet wouldn't be much good, how would you swing it in a car? Check with a local gun shop, they will know what is legal.

You cant carry a hatchet...a stun gun,you need to get a permit for it. And you cant use it unless if you have solid proof that the person has tryed to harm you. If you dont have proof,you will get arrested. Pepper Spray is the only thing you can carry without getting in trouble for using or needing some sort of permit. Try an airsoft pistol,or a BB

im pretty sure if you got pulled up by police you would be arrested for the hatchet In Florida, N.F.A (gun trust). weapons are legal to own and possess as long as you aren't a criminal, insane, and you obey the laws. Machine guns are legal, here, as long as they were manufactured and registered with the B.A.T.F.E. prior to 1986. Silencers are legal here as long as they are registered and you pay for the tax stamp (USD $200.00). You can own a grenade launcher here.

Well i don't think it would matter either way if you need protection outside your car you wouldn't get to it on time and if you could you would probably want to avoid it by driving away. if you need protection in your car well why? unless someone jumps in your window then you could probably use pepper spray and or a stun gun but you would probably in shock. You might like a bat as well a hatchet is just like a knife.... a bat would be easier to use cause a hatchet is only good for one specific side u can use all sides of a bat...
