LANSING -- People with concealed weapons permits may soon be able to buy and carry stun guns or Tasers in Michigan.
The legislation passed the state House of Representatives Thursday and now goes onto the Senate for final vote. The bill will then head to Governor Snyder for his signature.
Senate Bill 30 would allow portable devices that use electro-muscular disruption technology to be carried by anyone with a concealed weapons permit.
Michigan law has banned the use of stun guns since 1976, with exceptions of police and some other security personnel.
Michigan is one of only seven states that prevents residents from using Tasers.

Cory Dean Jr commented: "Criminals don't care if they are allowed to carry a taser or not. So why not let the law abiding citizen. Since the bad Guy will without a permit."
