Thomas A Swift's Electric Rifle, although i guess some versions use the Z as a brand name... i had guessed these parties were crazy kids tase-ing themselves for kicks, but it's just a sort of tupperware party. now that they build combination mp3 players/tasers, this was bound to happen...

is the sale of these things completely unregulated?

That guy in the "Monster Mash" song was a genius, a visionary, a man who was ahead of his time.

What was a key element of that party he had?

They all came to his humble abode to get a jolt from his electrode.

See, folks, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Back when I was in ROTC we'd simulate knife fights with stun guns. pretty much if you let yourself get "cut" you got painfully zapped.

TYVM Now I have something to do on boring nights...all I have to do is convince my wife that hers really does work, and she just "keeps missing me"

Any futurists willing to take a guess?

/Torture party ?

No alcohol at a Taser party? How fair is that?

Truly, if you want to have taser party, you need to get hopped up on cocaine, alcohol or stress, get Tasered and have cops jump on your neck to restrain you

This showed up in a "milf taser" GIS. I don't know what it is but I like the possibilities.

I do recall a gal I know mentioning that she enjoyed a zap from the Tazer during sex..

I am really scared to ask for more detail.

I read that as "ShieldHer Taser Panties,"

What is it about the media that anything where there is a slight increase of attention paid can be called "surging in popularity"?

Even more than last month when this story was greenlit?

So? I was questioning the media before it was considered cool. I moved on to never questioning the media ever now.

FTFA: But Shafman has sold more than 100, at a price of $349.99 each, since her first Taser party on Oct. 15. She does not get a commission, but does receive a discounted dealer rate from Taser International and keeps the difference on the units she sells.

Also known as commission.

cp87 - How long until these get used to mug people?


When I was younger, I managed a movie theater, and I was robbed one night by a guy who pepper-sprayed me.

So yep, I'm sure it happens.

 
technicolor-misfit 2008-02-03 01:24:54 PM  
Oh, and to clarify my previous story... He pepper-sprayed me and cold-cocked me and then snatched the night's deposit bag.

I was afraid that may have come across like I emptied out the till at "spray-point" or something.

cp87: How long until these get used to mug people?

Is this a bad thing? Assuming that people who would mug with this would be likely to mug anyways, I think i would prefer to be mugged with a less lethal device than a knife or gun.

 
jackbooty 2008-02-03 01:42:38 PM  
I would take a tazer shot over pepper-spray any day of the week.

When will tazing replace paintball as the fun weekend thing to do?

Like a lot of people, I was hoping for pictures of fat middle aged women tasering each other, maybe even voluntarily. Oh well, theres always the halftime show..


/Wait

I'm not sure if it is better or worse. I might rather be threatened with a knife, but not hurt, than tased. I don't think that the type of person who will seriously injure someone in a mugging will switch to a taser.

I was reading a bit more though, and it looks like that these also shoot out serialized confetti, so you can identify the owner of the the taser used. So good on them.

Interesting. I did not know that. That will help track the dumbasses, but they tend to get caught anyway no matter what tools they put to bad use.

It's a shotgun that fires self contained taser pellets. Each "round" is, in essence, a tiny single charge taser. Used for crowd control since it can fry multiple people without having to disengage wires or change cartridges.

 
Wulfhardt 2008-02-03 02:21:08 PM  
I think that's great. People ought to be looking out for themselves. It's been a long time now, but I seem to remember hearing a similar story about a bunch of women having a gun party, where they all would learn about guns, go get permits together and buy pistols, then hit the range. It might have been an actual organization heading it up, but I don't remember.

Either way, good on them for having some kind of self defense.
