Stun guns in designer colors


Taser International Inc.’s latest consumer weapon, a palm-sized stun gun in metallic pink and three other colors will start shipping next month.

Police groups say Taser International Inc.’s latest consumer weapon, a palm-sized stun gun in metallic pink and three other colors that will start shipping next month, may end up helping the bad guys.

“Inevitably, this will fall into criminal hands,'’ said James Pasco, Washington-based executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, the largest law-enforcement labor union, with more than 325,000 members. “It will also be in a lot of untrained hands.'’

I have to say the company has come up with an innovative answer to this critter getting into the hands of your friendly neighborhood gangsta wannabes.

“And we have a successful anti-felon identification program,'’ Tuttle said. “When you shoot, it disperses 20 to 30 pieces of confetti with serial numbers on them that can be matched to the owner of the Taser. It’s like leaving your business cards behind at a crime scene.'’

The coppers can not only track down the thug using one of these - he gets charged with littering on top of everything else.
