I am not a lawyer, either.

I think the question is a bit farcical, considering all the illegal activities that take place in colege dorms.

That is not a TASER. That is a stun gun.

TASER= Thomas A Swift's Electric Rifle.

I have never thought about this law. It appears to be aimed at tear gas and homemade poison gas (like sarin).

The advanced model can be used either way (probably the older ones too). Here is an excerpt from the owners manual:


USING THE STUN GUN BACKUP

To use the stun gun AFTER FIRING an Air Cartridge, press down the Trigger Switch (make sure the Safety Slide has been pulled back) to ensure the unit is active, then press the front of the ADVANCED TASER firmly against the body of an assailant. It does not matter whether the Air Cartridge is in or not. The ADVANCED TASER works as a stun gun with or without the Air Cartridge in place. Even with the Air Cartridge in place, the metal prongs on the front of the ADVANCED TASER will deliver T-Waves directly to the body of the target
