The in state of Arizona refers to Stun Guns and Tasers as Remote stun guns. And their definition is “an electronic device that emits an electrical charge and that is designed and primarily employed to incapacitate a person or animal either through contact with electrodes on the device itself or remotely through wired probes that are attached to the device or through a spark, plasma, ionization or other conductive means emitting from the device.”

Authorized Remote Stun Guns require:

1. An electrical discharge that is less than one hundred thousand volts and less than nine joules of energy per pulse.
2. An identification and tracking system that, on deployment of remote electrodes, disperses coded material that is traceable to the purchaser through records that are kept by the manufacturer on all remote stun guns and all individual cartridges sold.
3. A serial or identification number on all projectiles that are discharged from the remote stun gun.
4. A training program that is offered by the manufacturer.
