Summary

Existing law categorizes certain weapons, including metal knuckles and specified knives, as generally prohibited weapons, and prohibits the possession of those weapons. Existing law permits certain devices to be purchased, possessed, or used in specified circumstances, including a stun gun. This bill would prohibit a stadium, concert venue, live performance or sporting venue, or arena where music, entertainment, or sporting events are being presented from prohibiting an individual from carrying a personal safety device, as defined, on their person. The bill would specify that these provisions do not include any device described as a personal safety device that would otherwise fall under the definition of any weapon otherwise prohibited by law. The bill would impose a $50 fine for each individual prohibited from carrying a personal safety device permitted to be carried under these provisions. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
