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 (18) and over may purchase or possess a stun gun, while prohibiting the sale of such devices to those under eighteen. Violators of this provision may face felony charges with penalties of imprisonment for not less than one year nor more than five years.

Additionally, the bill outlines penalties for using a stun gun in the commission of a crime or against a police officer, with potential fines of up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and imprisonment for not more than ten (10) years. Any sentence imposed for using a stun gun against a police officer must be served consecutively to any sentence for the underlying crime.

The bill also amends existing language regarding the carrying of firearms to include stun guns, requiring a license or permit for individuals to carry either a pistol or a stun gun. Overall, the bill aims to regulate the possession and use of stun guns more strictly.
