Tasers and stun gunsArizona's stun gun law regulates sales and use, not ownership; it does not list who may not possess one. A seller of an "authorized remote stun gun" (under 100,000 volts and 9 joules per pulse, with serial-numbered projectiles and a tracking system that disperses coded material) must keep a record of the buyer's identity checked against a government ID, and failing to do so is a petty offense; this does not apply to secondary sales. Knowingly using or threatening to use a remote stun gun against a law enforcement officer performing official duties is a class 4 felony. Stun guns are not on Arizona's list of "prohibited weapons."
