Bill would require a permit in Alabama to carry a stun gun
The Associated Press - April 09, 2008
MONTGOMERY — A bill under consideration by the Alabama Legislature would require a person to have a permit to carry a concealed stun gun or electroshock weapon on his or her person or in a car.
The permits would be the same as those currently issued by county sheriffs for carrying a concealed firearm and would cost $1.
The bill sponsored by Rep. Steve Hurst of Munford was debated in a public hearing Wednesday before the House Judiciary Committee. Committee chairman Rep. Marcel Black of Tuscumbia said the panel would vote on the measure at a later meeting.
Hurst said the devices can be used as weapons and requiring permits would help prevent them from being misused.
"I don’t want them to get in the wrong hands. I would hate to see children or teenagers having TASER parties and shooting each other," Hurst said.
The stun guns are often used by law enforcement officers as a way of controlling an unruly person without using deadly force.
