The bill amends several sections of the General Laws in Chapter 11-47, which pertains to weapons, to include new definitions and regulations regarding stun guns. It introduces the definition of a "stun gun" as a battery-powered handheld device that transmits an electric charge to a person. The bill establishes that individuals aged eighteen and over may purchase or possess a stun gun, while prohibiting the sale of such devices to those under eighteen, with violations resulting in felony charges and potential imprisonment of one to five years.

Additionally, the bill prohibits the use of a stun gun in the commission of a crime or against a police officer engaged in their duties, with penalties including fines of up to ten thousand dollars and imprisonment for up to ten years. Sentences for these offenses must be served consecutively to any other sentences imposed for the underlying crime.

The bill also amends existing language regarding the carrying of stun guns, requiring a license or permit for individuals to carry a stun gun in a vehicle or on their person. Overall, the bill aims to regulate the possession and use of stun guns more strictly.
