The bill amends several sections of the General Laws in Chapter 11-47, which pertains to weapons, by introducing new definitions and regulations regarding stun guns. It defines "stun gun" as a battery-powered handheld device that transmits an electric charge to a person when applied. The bill establishes that any person eighteen (18) years of age or older who is issued a license or permit may carry a stun gun.

Additionally, it introduces a new section that allows individuals aged eighteen and over to purchase or possess a stun gun, while prohibiting sales to those under eighteen. Violations of this provision will result in felony charges, with penalties including imprisonment for not less than one year nor more than five years. The bill also criminalizes the use of stun guns in the commission of a crime or against police officers, imposing severe penalties for such offenses, including fines of up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and imprisonment for not more than ten (10) years.

The legislation aims to enhance public safety by regulating the possession and use of stun guns and ensuring that individuals under eighteen do not have access to these devices.
