Hand held stun guns. Isn't that what women are supposed to be able to carry to protect themselves???


Not in MA. IIRC, not even the police are allowed to have them.

Well, not precisely correct . . . the law changed about a year ago and LE can now deploy them but the restrictions are so onerous and the paperwork so intense that only 1 or 2 PDs have deployed them to date in MA. ONLY MSP and MUNICIPAL PDs will be allowed to deploy them, no other LE (e.g. campus police, I don't think that the Sheriffs Dept or Corrections) will be allowed under the law as written.
If anyone should have them, it should be the "Screws" at the DOC.
 
Jon,

I agree with you.

However the idiots who create laws in MA (and the MA Chiefs Assn who "advises" them) are totally clueless on what the real need by LE on the streets are in tools or training.
