MassLive: The Second Amendment protects civilians possessing stun guns and tasers, the highest court in Massachusetts said Tuesday.
The ruling from the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court stated that the prohibition in Massachusetts state law is a violation of the Second Amendment. The law allowed for law enforcement to possess the weapons.
The ruling came in a case in which a defendant was charged with possession. The court ruled that the complaint against him be dismissed and that the state law is struck down.
