I caught a couple of episodes of the show Fight Science this weekend. A lot of it is sort of hokey stuff that’s kind of a waste. For instance, the guy channeling his Chi. See, he channeled his Chi to give him an “iron shirt”. Then he placed a spear to his throat, leaned into […]

Anchorage police officer tasers a wayward bear.

Officers suspended for allegedly using a Taser to subdue a ten year old.

$160 per round

I guess with this camouflage taser, you’re supposed to go in the woods and tase a deer into submission. Now that would be something to watch.

Koosh bullets And $10K for a 22 that won’t fire unless you’re wearing a watch. Smart guns are kinda dumb. AK 47 with toilet seat stock. Wait, what?

Good: Police need reasons to believe a suspect is dangerous before firing a Taser and can’t use their stun gun simply because the person is disobeying orders or acting erratically, a federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled Monday. The decision by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sets judicial standards for police and […]

On his own land: Engelking, 27, aimed to hunt deer Wednesday morning when he noticed a pipeline crew on his land. He hopped on his ATV and told workers they had no right to be on his property because he had received no compensation from Enbridge Energy Partners L.P. for an easement. Engelking said workers […]

Arming school resource officers with Tasers.

This looks like a taser claymore.

Shiny new Daniel Defense Carbine Three shot Taser

Man douses self with gasoline during confrontation with police. Can you guess what happens when man doused with gasoline meets Taser?

Scary: It is legally permissible for police to zap a suspect with a Taser to obtain a DNA sample, as long as it’s not done “maliciously, or to an excessive extent, or with resulting injury,” a county judge has ruled in the first case of its kind in New York State, and possibly the nation. […]

That’s a bit of hyperbole. I’m using gun-ban-speak. But this was amusing: The ATF lost 76 weapons and hundreds of laptops over five years, the Justice Department reported Wednesday, blaming carelessness and sloppy record-keeping. Thirty-five of the missing handguns, rifles, Tasers and other weapons were stolen, as were 50 laptops, the internal audit found. Two […]

Taser didn’t work but the gun did.

And light blogging alert. Stuff to do. Model PC-13 Noveske low profile. FAL A Taser that can be fired from a shotgun.

I dunno, this Taser sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I might invest in a company that makes Taser-proof clothing. But, really, how long before someone passed a law banning it? A week?

So, the kid gets off: A University of Florida student who was shocked with a Taser after persistently questioning Sen. John Kerry will avoid criminal charges by apologizing and complying with terms of a voluntary 18-month probation, authorities said Tuesday.

In comments here, Rachel asks: This is only vaguely related, but I’m interested in what you all think for situations where a workplace explicitly bans the presence of guns. Say you were considering something for self-defense, but technically you wouldn’t be able to carry a gun to and from work, and that to and from […]

Speculating about AC’s future. What games can humans still win? Uhh, poker? I’ve got to wonder what kind of moron would Tase an adult holding a baby How to get out of plastic handcuffs. I personally carry a key for the real kind. Messing with surveillance cameras. Oddly missing is take cover and return fire.

And kinda frightening, since it’s coming soon to a PD near you. Chris looks at Taser’s XREP (Extended Range Electronic Projectile).

The cops show up to serve civil papers without a search or arrest warrant. The woman of the house attempts to close the garage door. The cops force their way in, attempt to subdue the woman who screams in pain. Out comes the husband who takes a cop’s Taser, smacks him in the head with […]

Tasers. Personally, I’ll stick with the G30 in basic black.

Background is police tasered a 61 year-old, disabled vet at a protest. Joe Powell has more, including pictures of police decked out in their ninja gear.

Ravenwood on accidental tasering: I think this kind of mistake happens all the time. Just the other day I went to change the channel on my TV, and grabbed my gun instead of the remote. I shot the screen three times before I figured out why it wasn’t changing. Heh.

Pesky berry ninjas R. Neal brings to our attention the police reaction to Floridians poaching berries: For berry patrol, each deputy dons green fatigues or camouflage, army boots, a black motorcycle helmet or military “Bonnie Hat,” heavy duty gloves, and a belt with bush necessities: automatic pistol, taser, pepper spray, baton, night-vision goggles, infrared binoculars, […]

I’ve posted on my issues with Tasers (more specifically their application) before. Well, this is a new one: “Taser! Taser!” Cassidy shouted as she sent a two-pronged wire, packing 50,000 volts, at Crouch’s chest. What happened next stunned everyone. A Taser probe pierced the pocket of his khaki shirt — and ignited the butane lighter […]

Police in Colorado Taser a man over a salad bar dispute. At a Chuck E. Cheese. In front of kids.
