Georgia college students can carry stun guns this fall

[TexasTowelie]

Thousands of college students are returning to campuses across the state this month, armed with dorm supplies, backpacks and possibly stun guns, now allowed on campuses.

1. What is the law?

Students and employees, 18 years and older, at Georgia’s public colleges and universities can now legally carry stun guns on campus. That includes in buildings, dorms and classrooms of the 29 institutions of the University System of Georgia and the 22 institutions in the Technical College System of Georgia.

The law, House Bill 792, and sponsored by Rep. Buzz Brockway, was passed by the legislature earlier this year, signed by Gov. Nathan Deal, and took effect July 1.

The stun guns allowed under the law, formally known as electroshock weapons, must be models that are commercially available, and not the more powerful weapons used by police and other law enforcement officers.

1. I hope this policy helps to prevent rapes. nt

3. Except it will probably cause them because it allows the rapists to carry tasers

Giving tasers to rapists is a bad idea. The Republicans of course love that idea.

4. I'm not convinced the rapists are concerned about taser laws.

They don't seem like the rule following type.

2. They could also be used against women.
