    This one is pretty good. All it does is say that a "stun gun" is legal for anyone 21 or over and defines what is a "stun gun".

    BUT, I also see that it has just a single sponsor. That means that this is most likely a campaign move, and is expected to go no where and even the sponsor won't push it very much. Yet, she will be able to point at it as her support of us.

    I could see it gaining traction if it were "sold" as a viable alternative to carrying a gun. I'm sure there are a LOT of folks that would NOT carry a gun…ever…but would be very happy to see this bill passed so they can carry a "stun gun" legally.

    Problem is, it can also backfire…"on the fence" legislators pointing to it saying, "we already gave you this…why do we need to continue to loosen gun laws further now?

    Stun guns were already legalized by People v Yanna. It’s statewide precedent and it said the ban on stun guns and the ban on openly carrying stun guns was unconstitutional.

    The problem is some prosecutors pretend Yanna doesn’t exist and when it’s brought up, they offer plea deals that clients don’t want to say no to.

    Where is the Attorney General on this? Why doesn’t he pursue action against these prosecutors?

    Oh, that’s right, he’s asleep at the wheel like he is on everything, except when the tobacco lobby needs an opinion in 5 minutes. It’s unfortunate that Michigan elects AG’s, but that’s another story.

    The old law was struck down.

    then they made a new law restricting stun guns, but allowing licensed people to have them (So long as they meet the requirements - serialized graffiti, etc).

    The new law has not yet been challenged in the same way.

    Tasers are not the same as stun guns. Shyster’s been irked by this (rightfully so) for years now.
