Stun Guns and Tasers now Legal In Philadelphia, PA

The city of Philadelphia has repealed its ban on stun gun and Taser devices, and has replaced it with a new law containing restrictions to protect minors. The city’s hand on the issue was forced by a 2016 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that found stun gun bans unconstitutional and the threat of legal action from a gun rights group. The new amendment allows Philadelphia residents over the age of 18 to purchase and own both handheld electric stun guns as well as the Taser projectile devices.

Read the full Bill No. 170674 Amending Section § 10-825 of The Philadelphia Code.

Since 1977, Philadelphia has prohibited the individual possession or use of stun guns with the threat of fines or even possible jail time for those found in violation of the ban. While the rest of Pennsylvania’s municipalities have agreed that these devices can serve a purpose in matters of personal safety for those responsible enough to wield them, Philly remained the lone holdout in relaxing its stance on stun guns.
