Description
Stun weapons; definition. Eliminates references to "tasers" throughout the Code of Virginia, and amends the definition of a "stun weapon" to mean a mechanism designed to emit a charge or shock to temporarily incapacitate a person. Previously, the Code of Virginia differentiated between this type of mechanism and a taser, which was defined as emitting a shock through the use of a projectile. Read the Bill »
