It is perfectly legal to hunt fish with a powerhead, as long as you are in federal waters.

As far as shooting a shark, it's legal to use deadly force and take a humans life under certain circumstances if your safety is in jeopardy....

Felix gave some great advise. Keep it loaded. There is a dual safety system, and common sense is your best safety

I'm curious about spearfishing with the Shark Shield. Wouldn't the same electrical field that the shark senses, by felt by fish too? There was a guy on the forum years ago that spearfished with a shark shield and did very well, but I've always wonder if the fish felt it like the sharks do.

I have been using a SharkShield for several years with great success. Grouper, snapper, AJs, and so no do not seem to feel the electrical pulses.

Shark are sensitive to the strong pulses because they possess Ampullae of Lorenzini. Follow this link for more infomation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampullae_of_Lorenzini
