NY Times reports today that SEC is investigating Taser for possible financial irregularity: as last day of business for 2004 racked up a $700,000 sale to an AZ gun shop which brags it sells to civilians, but only a few so far. And that the AZ AG is informally looking at sale of the stun guns to civilians, with cops protesting civilian access to the neatest cop joy toy. However, Taser claims the civilian version is effective only to 15 feet while the LE version will explose a heart at 20 feet. And, Taser says "accidental deaths caused by the shock would have happened to those sick persons anyway." Well, yes, homicidal cops say the perps were begging for it, learning such talk from the president and up to the one who has fun with joy toy tsunamis. Exculpation, says the king, is divine, and my Taser shocks shit further than yours. Here are photos of the Taser in manufacture, sale, training, promo, and accidental misfire: http://cryptome.org/taser-eyeball.htm
