Bill > H2332

This bill repeals several sections of Chapter 123 of the Acts of 2018, which previously defined and regulated the use of "stun guns" in Massachusetts. The bill introduces new definitions for "electronic dart guns" and "electronic stun guns," and establishes that it is lawful for individuals aged 21 or older (for dart guns) and 18 or older (for stun guns) who are not "prohibited persons" to possess, purchase, carry, transfer, or use these devices for defensive purposes, without requiring any special permit or license. The bill also outlines penalties for violating these provisions and exempts certain law enforcement officers and suppliers from the requirements. The overall effect of the bill is to loosen the restrictions on the use of these types of electronic defensive devices in the state.
