I really don't understand all these comments about how bad it is for the average citizen to have a Taser. I would rather get shocked than knifed, hit over the head with a baseball bat, hit with a tire iron, or any of a million other things people could do to you with everyday items.]]>Jan 8th 2007 10:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/Jan 9th 2007 4:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/Jan 8th 2007 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/
You are right that it makes "violence" much easier, but I would argue that the more realistic scenario where it "brings potential into the hands of many more who would otherwise not contemplate actually doing something of the sort" would be the girl who would have let herself be raped, because the guy had a knife, but now she can just knock the guy out and run, or the guy who would have handed over his car keys because there were two assailants, who can now Taser one, and contact stun the other.

Criminals don't need help finding weapons, they are criminals! It doesn't bother them that it is illegal to carry a gun or assault someone, that is why they are called criminals. It is the average person who doesn't want to break the law that needs a little help if they are going to defend themselves from the criminals.]]>Jan 9th 2007 5:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/Jan 9th 2007 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/Jan 11th 2007 9:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/Jan 18th 2007 12:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/Jan 19th 2007 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/www.fortressenterprise.com ]]>Jan 20th 2007 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/Some of the safety features are:

Tazer will not work till a background check has been done, and the owner has been given an auth. code to unlock the tazer.

When the taser is discharged, along with the probes, it releases 20 to 30 anti-felon tags that are about the size of hole punch chads that spread out around the area that has the serial number of the taser that it was discharged from, meaning it can be traced back to the purchaser.

Optional laser pointer to know for show you hit where your aiming.

I just don't understand what is going on in this country these days, you shot and kill someone trying to break into your house and you yourself can be charged with murder or at the least have a civil suit brought against you by the bad guys family....You have every right to defend yourself and your family, and if the bad guy dies in that process, it sounds to me like he has chosen the wrong profession. The bad guy put himself in that situation, so he must suffer the conciquences of his own actions.]]>Feb 13th 2007 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/Sep 30th 2007 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/taser-international-unveils-taser-c2-personal-protector/
What is curious, why does Taser require a background check? Other than for PR reasons, to instill a false sense of security, and to portray some sort of corporate responsibility. They've gone to great lengths to get this product listed as a "non-fire arm". Which means it's not restricted for anyone (including felons) to purchase and/or own. So by law, anyone they refused to sell to would be a case of discrimination.

Also, seeing how it's not a tracked or regulated device, what would be stopping someone from buying 3 or 4 and selling those to people who didn't pass Taser's "background check"?

Just some food for thought. Either way, I like the fact that the option is out there. Will I buy one?? Perhaps, if they remove this "background" check requirement.

I don't like opening my life to the gun store people, but the law says I have to, so I do. At least the gun stores are limited by the govt. as to what they can research (limited list). These tasers aren't regulated, which means Taser Inc. can look at and go as far into your personal business as they see fit. Not a selling point if you ask me. Amounts to the same as buying a lawn mower at Home Depot and handing your SSN card over to the clerk and telling them to have fun with it.
