Stun Gun Ban Lifted in New Jersey

Stun Gun Ban Lifted in New Jersey

New Jersey's attorney general has formally agreed to lift the state's ban on stun guns as part of a legal settlement with a group of gun rights advocates.

A federal judge on Tuesday filed a consent order closing the suit and directing the state to create new regulations "consistent with public safety and the Second Amendment" within 180 days.

Under current regulations, only police officers are permitted to carry conducted energy devices, commonly known as stun guns or Tasers. A New Jersey man, Mark Cheeseman, and the New Jersey Second Amendment Society challenged the law last year, claiming it violated his right to bear arms.

New Jersey is among a handful of states with laws on the books banning civilians from owning stun guns.

State Attorney General Christopher Porrino conceded in court filings last year the law "would likely not pass constitutional muster" in light of a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that threw out a similar law in Massachusetts.
