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.
