Later this year - Taser to start selling civilian version of three shot zapper

[The Straight Story]

High-Tech Guns: Digital Revolvers, Koosh Bullets and Triple-Tasers

Later this year, Taser will start selling a civilian version of its three-shot people zapper. Unlike the law enforcement model, it will have a range of only 15 feet. Despite that limitation, the increased firepower may lead to some regrettable incidents. It’s anybody’s guess whether armed civilians will abuse their ability to shock people repeatedly, the way that cops do.

Flip off the safety, and the Taser will light up your target with both a laser and white light from an LED. The neuromuscular incapacitator could double as a pet toy. Kitties will love chasing the bright red spot all over your home.

Alongside the Tasers is the new Surefire Stratum flashlight, which can put out up to 150 lumens. The pocket-sized LED torch will be available in a few months.

1. Tasers should be banned.

2. If tasers are banned, only bands will have tasers. And which bands would you trust with this

firepower?

College marching bands?

New Orleans jazz bands?

Las Vegas lounge bands?

Punk rock bands?

Me - I'm waiting for the home-phaser models.

4. Why would this be un rec'd?

To fix it we have to see it, which means someone has to say it out loud in a public setting.

These weapons should be taken from the police, not expanded as an over the counter product to market to the mad as hell masses.
