That makes him a Yorpnapper, and I don't think Spot's complaining.
Keening_Product was defeated before the game.

Maybe the Yorp was a refugee from the evil Garg regime?

Keen faces charges of:
  • Yorpnapping
    Running away from home
    Mass murder and possible genocide of the Vorticon race
    Theft of countless candies, pizzas, teddy bears, beverages, etc.
    Desecration of the Shrine of the Holy Pogo Stick
    Poaching of vivas on Fribbulus Xax, including of breeding queens vital to the sustaining of their population
    Unlicensed possession of firearms
    Underage possession of alcohol
Likely among others.

But did he use firearms where such laws are in place?
I think it's more like commandeering items to save the owners from oppression. But then again he saved the Vorts by an unexpected consequence to defeating Mort in Keen3.

Fighting with Mortimer is a pretty real one.

Keen 4 Story wrote:"Suppertime, Billy!" announces his mom as she walks out to the workshop.

"Aw, nuts!" spouts Billy. He realizes there isn't enough time to stop the sequence and cover the ship! Thinking quickly, he pulls out his Neural Stunner, points it at the door, and waits.

One "Zzzzap!" later and his Mom is frozen in the doorway.

"Whew," says Keen.

"Honey? What's the matter?" says Billy's dad, coming out the back door.

"Double nuts!" mutters Billy. He peeks past his mom, takes aim and....

Against his parents, yes.

I don't think the Neural Stunner qualifies as firearms - it's a non-lethal (and as far as we know, painless) energy weapon. Dunno what the law's allowances are on those, though.

Also, IIRC the Keen 1 help text establishes that the Yorps and Gargs are separate races.

Chapter 941.295 Possession of electric weapon. Subsection (1) On or after July 1, 1982, whoever sells, transports, manufactures, possesses or goes armed with any electric weapon is guilty of a Class E felony. Subsection (4) In this section, "electric weapon" means any device which is designed, redesigned, used or intended to be used, offensively or defensively, to immobilize or incapacitate persons by the use of electric current.

SUMMARY: Self defense law, in Wisconsin, has banned the Possession and sales of Stunning Devices..
Assuming Keen lives in Wisconsin, and a neural stunner is classed as an electric weapon, he is in violation of the law there.

I always thought Gargs were the Yorp's inbred cousins from Markansas.

Not convinced by TerminILL's comment? It's like giraffes and horses.

McMire should be sent to Juvenile Hall. Not Keen. Also, how do we know that a space blaster is a stunner? It just freezes people. It does not hurt them. The weapon has not been classified by the federal government as a stunner. Keen fought with McMire in space. Space is not the same jurisdiction as the United States. It was self defense also.
