Good question. California Penal Code section 244.5 defines a stun gun in the State of California. Minor's above 16 years of age can purchase and possess a stun gun in California with their parents' express written consent to do so.
Obviously the stun gun's use is solely for protection and nothing else.
In answer to your question, you can carry a stun gun for your protection as a 16 year old minor subject to your parents' written permission to do so.
