Iowa residents and visitors must have a permit if they carry a stun gun, whether or not the unit even works.<\/p>\n<p>The court found that Taquala Howse, 25, broke the law when she was caught shoplifting with a non-functioning stun gun in her purse. The police discovered the stun gun after a cursory search. Carrying a &#8220;dangerous weapon&#8221; without a permit is an aggravated misdemeanor in Iowa.<\/p>\n<p>Iowa law states that &#8220;any portable device or weapon directing an electric current, impulse, wave, or beam that produces a high-voltage pulse designed to immobilize a person&#8221; is a dangerous weapon.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, the defense argued that the non-functioning stun gun did not constitute a dangerous weapon. Witnesses for the state failed to convince the court that the defendant&#8217;s stun gun could harm anyone and the charges were thrown out.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecution appealed, arguing that it doesn&#8217;t matter if the stun gun could harm someone, the threat of harm is enough for it to be considered a dangerous weapon, and that it still met the legal definition of a dangerous weapon. The higher court agreed, saying that a person has no way of knowing if a stun gun is functional.<\/p>\n<h2>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/massachusetts-courts-decide-stun-guns-arent-protected-by-second-amendment\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"carry-permit-required-for-stun-guns-in-iowa-even-if-broken\" title=\"Carry Permit Required for Stun Guns in Iowa Even if Broken\">Massachusetts Courts Decide Stun Guns Aren\u2019t Protected by Second Amendment<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Iowa has a clear case history of treating all guns as if they were loaded, legally speaking, and the court applied the same standards to the stun gun. Just like a broken firearm, a non-functioning stun gun can still be used to threaten bodily harm.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A gun in the hands of a robber and pointed at the victim causes fear of death or injury and is so intended,&#8221; explains an earlier 1966 ruling. &#8220;The law does not contemplate that a victim under such circumstances must inquire if the gun is loaded.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the stun gun, although non-working, still met the description of a dangerous weapon in accordance with state law.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We hold that a stun gun, even if inoperable, is per se a dangerous weapon under the definition of Iowa Code,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/cases\/iowa\/supreme-court\/2016\/131997.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"carry-permit-required-for-stun-guns-in-iowa-even-if-broken\" title=\"Carry Permit Required for Stun Guns in Iowa Even if Broken\">wrote Supreme Court Justice Bruce Zager<\/a>. &#8220;We vacate the decision of the court of appeals and affirm the judgment of the district court.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is consistent with our approach in other path three or per se dangerous weapon cases,&#8221; wrote Zager.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s disappointing but it\u2019s a fair reading of the statute, so I can respect the decision,\u201d said Howse&#8217;s attorney, John Audlehelm to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.desmoinesregister.com\/story\/news\/crime-and-courts\/2016\/02\/19\/iowa-justices-stun-guns-require-carry-permit\/80628484\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"carry-permit-required-for-stun-guns-in-iowa-even-if-broken\" title=\"Carry Permit Required for Stun Guns in Iowa Even if Broken\">the Des Moines Register<\/a>. Audlehelm said that this case still proves that Iowa needs clearer statutes when it comes to weapons.<\/p>\n<p>House was identified after shoplifting from a Walmart store in Waterloo, Iowa, in 2013. Police arrested her after matching her to a description. Howse was originally found guilty at a bench trial before her appeal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iowa residents and visitors must have a permit if they carry a stun gun,
