AN ACT RELATING TO CRIMINAL OFFENSES -- WEAPONS
HB 5933 allows any person aged 18 or older who holds a valid license or permit to carry a stun gun. This bill specifically amends existing weapons laws to include stun guns under the same permit requirements as other weapons, meaning licensed individuals 18+ can now legally carry them in public. The change directly affects permit holders aged 18 and older, expanding their legal ability to carry stun guns without additional restrictions. The bill does not change age limits for other weapons or create new licensing requirements, only clarifying that stun guns fall under existing permit rules.
