RIGL 11-47-42, which prohibits stun guns and tasers was struck down by the federal court as unconstitutional in March of 2022.

The AG’s office stated they’d respect the ruling and did not appeal.

The law is still “on the books” as in the law hasn’t been updated, but as of now, you won’t be charged with a crime if you are found carrying one.

There is a bill that was proposed that would outline that anyone 18 and older can carry, which would codify it, but it hasn’t gone anywhere.

They actually refuses to even vote on it for several years now. This is deliberate.

The law still being on the books means you can/will be charged, and also prevents many/most places from shipping or selling it to you.

It's funny how they respect this ruling, but not the one that says all concealed weapons permits need to be "Shall" issue.

You’ll notice in both 11-47-11 and 11-47-18, you still need cause.

Problem is, not a lot of people can show good cause.

But yes, if you meet the age requirement, aren’t a prohibited person, and show cause, it is shall issue under 11-47-11.
