2003 SESSION
SB 1140 Stun weapons or tasers.
Introduced by: Kenneth W. Stolle | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles | history
SUMMARY AS PASSED:
Stun weapons or tasers. Restores the provision enacted in 2001 (HB 2327 and SB 1306) making possession of stun weapons and tasers by convicted felons a Class 6 felony. An accompanying exception allowing possession of stun weapons and tasers in the felon's residences or curtilages thereof inadvertently expanded the exception to include all firearms. In 2002 HB 300 was introduced to fix that problem but inadvertently removed the prohibition on possession of stun weapons and tasers by convicted felons.
