This one looks to be cleanly written and does exactly what the description says.
I think we should support. This is sponsored by a single representative.

I would think a whole lot of folks would be ok carrying a less than lethal weapon. Hell, I don't want to take anyone's life. But I'm too old to wrestle.

So does that mean that a tazer style device that shoots barbs out would not qualify? If so this would only apply to the cheap pieces of junk that you have to be in contact distance to use.(D) "STUN GUN" MEANS A DEVICE THAT IS CAPABLE OF CREATING AN
ELECTRO-MUSCULAR DISRUPTION AND IS USED OR INTENDED TO BE USED AS A
DEFENSIVE DEVICE CAPABLE OF TEMPORARILY INCAPACITATING OR
IMMOBILIZING AN INDIVIDUAL BY THE DIRECTION OR EMISSION OF
CONDUCTED ENERGY. STUN GUN DOES NOT INCLUDE A LAUNCHABLE DEVICE.
Tasers are already allowed under the proper conditions, this would not affect them at all.
The changes do only affect direct contact type devices, but not all of them are junk in construction or operation.
In reviewing this an additional time, I think it needs to be expanded. There is nothing wrong with the current bill, as a starting point.
One of the areas and groups that could really use this legislation would be young women on college campuses. I would guess that most freshmen and sop****res are under 21 and even a number of juniors, only by the time they are seniors does the demographic drastically change.
I am not suggesting that they make a valid school ID mandatory for those 18-20, but they have done similar stuff in the past. Hey the call box is just on the other side of the parking lot, and the campus cops are just a few minutes away.

Not that I disagree with your analysis, but wouldn't colleges still be able to ban them (or see a need to) like they do with just about everything else? Your run of the mill community college may not be able to ban them, but I'd be willing to bet that UM and MSU will...
Yes, they could.
And we might be able to turn that to our advantage. Maybe actually fix Preemption? At least (with what is in the bill) the State would not be doing it, they just restrict the age.

I would have thought they would have written it to allow 18 and above. With all the talk of assaults on college campi it would have been a no brainer.
