I've got a friend who lives in bellingham that was pulled over last night. Cop asks if there were any weapons in the car. Friend said there was a taser in the glove box. My taser, technically a "stun gun", whichI left in his glovebox. Cop takes it, says its illegal in the city limits of bellingham, and makes my friend follow him outside the city limits to give it back to him.
I'm assuming that the 'stun gun' is covered under RCW 9.41.270 as a weapon capable of producing bodily harm? But its not a firearm so 9.41.290 doesn't apply? Is there state preemption for 'weapon capable of producing bodily harm' or just firearms.
Please tell me that the next time this happens he can tell the cop to go pound sand.
