    > 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!!!
    > Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie 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 tazer
    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 dumbass,' 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 heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed
    the button, and .. .

    > HOLY MOTHER OF GOD . . WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION . . . WHAT THE HELL!!!
    > I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in
    the recliner, 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 making meowing sounds I had never heard before,
    clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt
    to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.
    > Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a tazer, one note of
    ca ution: 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?
    > IT 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 reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. The
    recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. 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 had no
    control over the drooling.
    > Apparently I pooped on myself, but was too numb to know for sure and my sense
    of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head which I believe came
    from my hair. I'm still looking for my nuts and I'm offering a significant
    reward for their safe return!
    >
    > P.s... My wife, who can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift,
    and now regularly threatens me with it!

    Ya it really made me think of several people I know who would do that. I would have tested on the cat.

    YEAH DUDE!!, that was FUNNY!! I won't be forgetting this one any time soon! Your testing the tazer to make sure it worked properly is a noble act. You gotta make sure your wife is safe right? And that cat was laughing at you. That would explain the odd meowing from her.

    Thanks for sharing this experience with us!

    Whats weird is after reading this I think I would still actually try this. I mean I have even shot my foot with a paintball gun and a airsoft pistol, hurt like hell but I wanted to know how bad it felt. Yeah, I am weird like that.

    That's my cousin and brother talkin' right there!
    The fact that it hurts is enough to keep me away. Pain only goes from bad to worse. That's not a favorable progression!
