Homeless woman's stun gun spurs 2nd Amendment case – Quincy Herald-Whig | Illinois & Missouri News, Sports

By DENISE LAVOIE AP Legal Affairs Writer

BOSTON (AP) - Jaime Caetano was beaten so badly by her ex-boyfriend that she ended up in the hospital. So when a friend offered her a stun gun to protect herself, she took it.

Caetano, who is homeless, never had to use it but now finds herself at the center of a contentious Second Amendment case headed to the highest court in Massachusetts.

The Supreme Judicial Court is being asked to decide whether a state law that prohibits private citizens from possessing stun guns infringes on their right to keep and bear arms. In an unusual twist, the court is also being asked to examine whether the Second Amendment right to defend yourself in your own home applies in the case of a homeless person.

Arguments before the court are scheduled Tuesday.

Police found Caetano's stun gun in her purse during a shoplifting investigation at a supermarket in 2011. She told police she needed it to defend herself against her violent ex-boyfriend, against whom she had obtained multiple restraining orders.

During her trial, Caetano, 32, testified that her ex-boyfriend repeatedly came to her workplace and threatened her. One night, she showed him the stun gun and he "got scared and left me alone," she said.

She was found guilty of violating the state law that bans private possession of stun guns, devices that deliver an electric shock when pressed against an attacker.

In her appeal, her lawyer, Benjamin Keehn, argues that a stun gun falls within the meaning of "arms" under the Second Amendment. Keehn wrote in a legal brief that the state's ban "cannot be squared with the fundamental right to keep and bear arms." He also argues that self-defense outside the home is part of the core right provided by the Second Amendment.

Massachusetts is among only five states that ban stun guns and Tasers for private citizens, said Eugene Volokh, a constitutional law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, who has written extensively about Second Amendment issues. The devices are used by law enforcement agencies around the country.

Letter: SAFE Act does not prevent citizens from owning guns

SAFE Act does not prevent citizens from owning guns

While I support an individuals right to own firearms under the Second Amendment, I also support the SAFE Act, which does not preclude gun ownership by law-abiding citizens. About two-thirds of New York voters also support the act, although support varies by location in the state.

Even under the SAFE Act, people can still own as many and varied types of firearms as they desire. The SAFE Act is intended to minimize the harm caused by criminals and people who are mentally ill.

The law does that by provisions that require limiting magazines to 10 rounds of ammunition, background checks for gun and ammunition sales (including private resale), registration of assault weapons, mental health professionals to report patients who credibly threaten harm to others and safe storage of firearms.

The legislators who backed the law are in touch with the people and the harm caused by people who should not have guns.

The Second Amendment states: A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. This does not preclude government regulation of gun sales, firearm registration or keeping them out of the hands of criminals. In fact, one might construe the Second Amendment to require membership in a well regulated militia (National Guard) as a requirement to own a gun.

The real problem in America is the National Rifle Association, which was originally started to promote gun safety and shooting competitions. That organization has morphed into gun manufacturers sales lobby that finances and bullies lawmakers to create conditions that foster fear and increase gun sales.
