Stun gun case tests Massachusetts Second Amendment limits
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court considers whether a ban on private stun guns violates the Second Amendment, and whether the home defense right extends to the homeless. Jaime Caetano, hospitalized after her ex-boyfriend attack, challenged the ban after a 2011 shoplifting investigation found a stun gun in her purse. The case debates self defense outside the home and the scope of arms rights for non-traditional weapons.
