Virginia Stun Gun Laws

Most states require that you be 18 to carry a stun gun. A felon is not allowed to carry a stun gun in any state. Fines for breaking this law vary from 500 dollars to as many three years of imprisonment.

Since you don't have to have any kind of permit or license to buy a stun gun (even VA where I live) I would say there's nothing wrong with them owning one. I know that felons can't have weapons but a stun gun is considered non lethal. just like a BB gun or mace..which felons may own.

I think owning a stun gun would be illegal for a felon.

Sorry dude.. Even as a 17 year old the law may prevent him from doing so. This is the exact law from the VSC. Check with your local Police Department if you still have questions.
§ 18.2-308.2. Possession or transportation of firearms, stun weapons, tasers, explosives or concealed weapons by convicted felons; penalties; petition for permit; when issued.
A. It shall be unlawful for (i) any person who has been convicted of a felony; (ii) any person adjudicated delinquent, on or after July 1, 2005, as a juvenile 14 years of age or older at the time of the offense of murder in violation of § 18.2-31 or 18.2-32, kidnapping in violation of § 18.2-47, robbery by the threat or presentation of firearms in violation of § 18.2-58, or rape in violation of § 18.2-61; or (iii) any person under the age of 29 who was adjudicated delinquent as a juvenile 14 years of age or older at the time of the offense of a delinquent act which would be a felony if committed by an adult, other than those felonies set forth in clause (ii), whether such conviction or adjudication occurred under the laws of the Commonwealth, or any other state, the District of Columbia, the United States or any territory thereof, to knowingly and intentionally possess or transport any firearm or stun weapon, taser as defined by § 18.2-308.1 or any explosive material, or to knowingly and intentionally carry about his person, hidden from common observation, any weapon described in subsection A of § 18.2-308. However, such person may possess in his residence or the curtilage thereof a stun weapon or taser as defined by § 18.2-308.1. Any person who violates this section shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony. However, any person who violates this section by knowingly and intentionally possessing or transporting any firearm and who was previously convicted of a violent felony as defined in § 17.1-805 shall be sentenced to a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of five years. Any person who violates this section by knowingly and intentionally possessing or transporting any firearm and who was previously convicted of any other felony within the prior 10 years shall be sentenced to a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of two years. The mandatory minimum terms of imprisonment prescribed for violations of this section shall be served consecutively with any other sentence.
