Stun Gun Laws in Georgia
Legally, stun guns are divided into two types:
A firearm permit is not needed for a person to carry a stun gun in Georgia. A firearms permit is required, however, to carry a projectile stun gun. Permits will not be issued to minors under the age of 21, or to people convicted of felonies and certain other crimes.
You need special approval to obtain a permit if you have been admitted as an inpatient to a mental hospital or alcohol/drug treatment center within the past 5 years. No license is required to simply store a stun gun of any type in your home, car or other property. Even with a permit, you will not be able to carry a projectile stun gun into certain public places where the owner forbids firearms.
Legally, stun guns are divided into two types:
- One type requires you to make direct contact with your target before the gun discharges.
- The other type, used by police, fires a projectile (typically a wire) into the target so it can be used at a distance.
