JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Taking its first official position on the use of stun guns, the Florida PTA is calling for the devices to be used only as an alternative to shooting a student with a gun and urging lawmakers to further study the device's effect on people.
Delegates at the PTA's annual convention in Jacksonville voted for the resolution Saturday.
The PTA had initially called for banning the use of stun guns on children under 18, but some opposed that. In a compromise, the organization instead called for them to be used only as an alternative to using deadly force.
