New Jersey State Law. New Jersey Stat. Ann. Title 2C. New Jersey Code of
Criminal Justice. Chapter 39-1. Prohibited weapons and devices.
(Section r summarized from Chapter 2C:39-1) "Weapon" means anything readily
capable of lethal use or of inflicting serious bodily injury. The term includes,
but is not limited to all (4) stun guns; and any weapon or (this section
refers to tear gas and has been updated in 1995) other device which projects,
releases, or emits tear gas or any other substance intended to produce temporary

Senate, No. 2871 -- L.1985, c. 360
Senate Bill No. 2781, as amended by the Senate Law, Public Safety and Defense
Committee, prohibits as a crime of the fourth degree the possession of a
stun gun by any person, including a law enforcement officer. A crime of the
fourth degree carries a penalty of imprisonment for up to 18 months, a fine
of up to $7,500, or both. Prior to being amended the bill classified possession
of a crime in the third degree. {Editor's Note: According to Len Lawson of
NJ Legislative Council, (609) 292-4625) NJ does not classify crimes in felonies
versus misdemeanors. The highest crimes are in first degree on down to fourth
degree. A fourth degree penalty is a serious charge and is generally considered
a misdemeanor in common terms. It is however an indictable offense. A fourth
degree crime does contain "a presumption of non-custodial sentencing;" meaning
that there is not imprisonment if there are no prior convictions. In some
cases the sentencing is obviated from one's record if there is a period of
good behavior following the charge.}
The committee amended the bill to include a provision authorizing the Attorney
General, at his discretion, to exempt law enforcement officers from the
prohibition against possession stun guns.
The bill was also amended by the committee to include stun guns in the definition
of "weapon" in paragraph r. N.J.S. 2C:39-1.
(Chapter 2C:39-1)
(h) Stun guns. Any person who knowingly has in his possession any stun gun
is guilty of a crime in the fourth degree.

Definitions: (20) "Electronic defense weapon" means a weapon which by electronic

not capable of inflicting death or serious injury.
§53-206. Carrying and sale of dangerous weapons
Any person who carries upon his person
electronic defense weapon, as
defined in 53a-3, or any other dangerous or deadly weapon or instrument,

within such city or borough, shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars
or imprisoned not more than three years or both. No permit shall be issued
to any applicant who has ever been convicted of a felony. The issuing authority

and make an investigation concerning the suitability of the applicant to
carry any such weapon. Refusal of fingerprinting by the applicant shall be
sufficient cause to refuse issuance of a permit. Whenever any person is found

the provisions hereof, found upon the body of such person, shall be forfeited
to the municipality wherein such person was apprehended, not withstanding
any failure of the judgment of conviction to expressly impose such forfeiture.
Any person who has been granted a permit to carry any martial arts weapon
pursuant to this section may carry such weapon anywhere within the state.
The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to any officer charged
with the preservation of the public peace nor to any person who is found

weapon or implement to the person to whom sold, give written notice of such
sale or delivery, specifying the article sold and the name and address of

good in that particular town and would be illegal elsewhere. Any one selling

24 hours of the delivery. Therefore Stunning Devices can be sold and it can
be kept in your place of business or home, but you cannot carry it on your

Overview Of New Statutes Affecting Air Taser In Florida
In May 1997, the Florida legislature passed HB 379 and became law. HB 379
allows certain remote stun guns and pepper sprays to be carried in the "open"
and "concealed." The AIR TASER falls under this open/concealed carry law
as it meets specific parameters set by this new statute.
The remote stun must fire no more than 16 feet (the AIR TASER fires only
15 feet)
The remote stun gun must utilize an identification and tracking system that
upon use, disperses coded material traceable to the purchaser through records
kept by the manufacturer (AIR TASER, Inc.) on all remote stun gun and all
individual cartridges sold (Air Cartridges). The Anti-Felon Identification
system meets this parameter. NOTE: The statute affects dealers and owners
of Stunning Devices to carry a remote stun gun in the open or concealed,
the remote stun gun must be registered with our company. In regards to an
AIR TASER that means that the Anti-Felon Identification cards on the AIR
TASER box must be on file with AIR TASER, Inc. If the remote AIR TASER is
not registered it cannot be carried.
