Some
weapons charges in Georgia specifically apply to stun guns and Tasers. For instance, it’s a felony if you have a stun gun or Taser while you are committing or trying to commit certain crimes that are themselves felonies, including:
- crimes against another person (like assault and battery or rape)
- illegal entry into, or theft from, a building or vehicle, or
- any crime involving illegal drugs.
Also, the penalties are steeper for hijacking a motor vehicle if you used force or intimidation while in possession of a stun gun or Taser. (Ga. Code §§ 16-5-44.1, 6-11-106 (2019).)
Using a stun gun or Taser might also carry felony charges under other statutes that don’t specifically mention these electrical weapons. For instance, it’s considered aggravated assault when the crime is carried out with a deadly weapon or any device that causes or is likely to cause serious bodily injury when used offensively.
Now GA in 7 types of Felonies require 10 years without parole, however, could be more depending on Priors. That being said, He stole It and was illegally in possession of It before discharging at an officer so with the DUI, Resisting with Violence, Discharge of a weapon with intent to do bodily harm, he would get my guess at least 25 without any priors.
