Changes to Wisconsin Stun Gun Law – Effective November 1, 2011

Previously, Wisconsin law stated that whoever sells, transports, manufactures, possesses or goes armed with any electric weapon is guilty of a Class E felony. Stun Guns and other electronic devices, such as Tasers, were considered illegal. If you are a citizen in Wisconsin who has a CCW license and would like to purchase an electronic stun device, please see our selection of Stun Guns and Tasers.

Under new Wisconsin Stun Gun Laws, which come into effect November 1, 2011, owning and carrying a stun gun or Taser device is considered legal with restrictions. Citizens may own, carry, and transport these devices if they possess a CCW (Carrying Concealed Weapons) license. Wis. Stat. § 941.295(2g). If they do not possess a CCW license, they may not purchase, but may only carry an electric weapon in their own dwelling or place of business or on land that they own, lease, or legally occupy. Wis. Stat. § 941.295(2g). They may also transport the weapon if it is enclosed within a carrying case. Wis. Stat. § 941.295(2r). The possession or carrying of an electric weapon in any other situations is a felony. Wis. Stat. § 941.295(1m). See our Stun Gun & Taser Laws page for more information.

      To purchase a stun gun or taser device in Wisconsin you are required to have a CCW (Carry Concealed Weapons) license.

    The way I read the law, it should be OK to buy a stun gun if I leave it in the box and transport it out of state. If I show a valid driver’s license showing I live in a state where they are legal, can I buy a stun gun in a store?

      You can buy a stun gun online as long as you live in a state where stun guns are legal. Buy Stun Gun Here

    Why is it I can have a firearm shipped here from anywhere and then carry it but I can not buy a stun gun to be shipped online besides a few approved sites? Are stun guns now considered more dangerous then firearms?

    The Wisconsin Laws reads: “They may also transport the weapon if it is enclosed within a carrying case. Wis. Stat. § 941.295(2r). ” Based on this, doesn’t it mean that I can buy a carrying case,but I still don’t have a CCW license, and can use it as long as it’s carried “in a case”?

    I don’t fear background record checks, mainly because I do not have anything at all to hide.

    Can EMTs carry tasers on the job for self defense purposes?

    You can have a stun gun in your home or replace you own or lease and you can transport it in a case enclosed in the state of Wisconsin without a CCW but if you carry it on your person in public you need a CCW that is the law, now the only way you’re going to be able to get it would be have it shipped to someone say like in Michigan that you know and go get it, because it can’t be shipped to his consonants kind of stupid.

    I don’t like the laws on open carry she can carry the damn thing but you can’t have it in your car how are you supposed to carry it unless you put it in your trunk every time you get in, they need to amend that law which they are trying to do I think, I think it was Madison that did straighten it out so far as carrying on a bus, which makes real good sense because if you’re carrying the damn thing where will you put it when you get on the bus, if I can carry a gun I should be able to have it on a public bus. If it’s concealed I don’t know how they would know but I guess some wise-ass would tell on you lol
