However, the situation has been described as a ‘bureaucratic technicality’ by Assistant Home Affairs Minister Andrew Lewis, who hopes it will be resolved soon. He said a meeting with UK government officials is planned, at which it is hoped the ban will be lifted. The situation affects other jurisdictions, including Guernsey and the Isle of Man, although Guernsey appears to have beaten whatever ban exists by importing the stun guns last year. Deputy Lewis said that details for a meeting between the Crown dependencies and the UK Ministry of Justice were being finalised.
