So my mother sent this to me, might be true story but a funny read.


************************************************** *******

Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who
purchased
his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this:




Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that
sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was
looking
for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a
100,000-volt, pocket/purse- sized tazer. The effects of the tazer were
supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your
assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety....??

WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it
home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the
button.
Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the
button
and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the
blue
arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.

AWESOME!!!

Provided that you had never been zapped by a coil wire, especially a high performance coil wire, or ever had the misfortune to have a cop tune you up with a taser (both of which I have had happen to me), I could see where curiousity might propel you to do this. After all, it's amps that kill and they are only powered by a couple of itty bitty batteries....

Personally, I would have done the neighbor's cat....

agreed cat goes first....Having never been tased, I'm anxious for that time in the academy. Once will be more than enough though

the taser would have had a much grater effect on the cat because its so much smaller it would be like using a cattle prod on a person that cat would have been tramatised for life i think the arc on the micro wave would have been enough for me or i would have waited to do it too a friend by suprise lol. but that did make for a funny story:lol:

I have some funny stories with those, had a buddy standing on a gate second rail from the top with his legs spread apart being a smartass one time. Went up behind him and zapped him in the jewels, he cried out like a little girl and fell into the dirt. :lol:

You didn't let your guard down when we were out at the arena, you damn sure didn't go find a corner to take a nap in either.

I've been there... As a Security Officer we had to go through training on all the "tools" that we use. They wanted us to know how to use them and feel he effects of what the other person was about to go through. The night stick wasn't to bad.... the pepper spray sucked... well I wanted to car a tazer... the ones the cops now carry... ya that was a stupid idea.... so I buy one... load it up with the 4 AA's and go to work... at a bar I might add... well one of the regulars wanted to try it out, I was so ready to see what would happen... so I took of the part that shoots the prongs out and hit the trigger.. he punk'd out and said If I did it he would... ( why do we not think before acting) I said ok... put it to my leg hit the trigger and hit the floor like you wouldn't believe... had the whole bar laughing at the security officer.... get up and do it again till the batteries died.... talk about a very sore leg the next day.....

Well Andrew, for sure don't offer to be the sacrificial lamb on this thread! Simply wouldn't be safe!

Those stories are great...and I thought that I was a little rough on some of my buddies...
