Fun with Tazers

[WadeFillingame]

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

Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked My interest. The occasion was our 22nd anniversary and I was looking for A little something extra for my wife Toni. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser 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 triple-a 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 flesh or a metal surface at the same time; I'd get The blue arch of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. Awesome!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Toni what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave. Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-a batteries, right?!!!

There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting Little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I Really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) And thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going To give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did Want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong? So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading Glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one Hand, and taser in another. The directions said that a one-second burst Would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.

All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really (and loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-a batteries) thinking to myself, "no possible way!" What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best... I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, "don't do it master," reasoning that a one-second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad.. I decided to give myself a one- second burst just for the heck of it.

I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and HOLY MOTHER, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION! (&# %&) (# %) (&#*#*)!!!

I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me Up in the recliner and then body slammed us both on the carpet over And over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the Fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on Fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs. The cat was standing over me making meowing sounds I had never heard before, licking my face, undoubtedly thinking to herself, "Do it again, do it again!"

Note: If you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a taser, one Note of caution: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A ONE-SECOND BURST when you zap yourself!!! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged From your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor. A three second Burst would be considered conservative. That hurt like hell!!! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at That point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and Surveyed the landscape.

My bent glasses were on the mantel of the Fireplace. How did they up get there??? My triceps, right thigh and Both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up With Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I'm still looking for my testicles and offering a significant reward for their safe return.

Damn!  What possesses us to do such things?  I can see myself doing the same thing in the same circumstance.

Oh, and that was some of the funniest reading I've done on a bb ever!  Thanks for the laughs Wade!

As part of our training to use taserz, we all to experience it at least once. Now the instructor said that it would only be about 1-2 seconds of the 5 second timer, just a taste.  WOW!

These were video taped and I timed mine... seems the instructor forgot to turn mine off, got the whole 5 seconds...

On another note, my sons has recounted to me several times about at least one encounter he has had with the taser. Seems that while he was in Iraq, he and some of his buddies were required to be at a certain location to wait until someone decided they had something better to do. As they waited and boredom over took them, someone pulled out a taser...Nothing like a bunch of gungho 18 years olds with a fully charged taser to create entertainment.

Hilarious Story Wade.... I could definitely see myself doing the same thing

That's some funny chit. No one has ever accused the human race of the brightest bulbs on the tree.  :lookatme:
