Anyone have a stungun or tazer story? I recently purchased a new stun gun for my wife, and instead of the standard 300,000-650,000 volt guns, I purchased the 1 million volt model. Well, I took a page out of my military training and decided that we should test it out so we truly know what it will do. Like getting gassed in basic training and getting hammered by a puke laser in Afghanistan, I vounteered to do the deed.
My wife really did not want to do it, or so she stated, but I talked her into it quite easily. I knelt on our bed and I have to say that I felt brave up until that point. I had a little brow sweat going and my heart started pounding but I told her to go for it. It was crazy. The noise of the thing scared the heck out of me but just when my mind was processing what that sound was, I dropped onto the bed and my body freaked out. I felt like I might be on my way to death for a brief second, but thank goodness the pain went away quickly. I recovered, but it was not fun and I am not really laughing about it yet. My wife found it very disturbing but she did end up very confident about the perfomance of the thing.
My only regret was that I wished I would not have been stunned on my butt cheek. I think the arm or shoulder would have been better.
So how would you feel if you had died (it can happen) leaving your wife to live the rest of her life knowing she had pulled the trigger?
It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt.......
I'll bet you used to run with scissors in your hand too.......
Gee, that is a sunny way to look at it. how about if my wife HAD to use it and it did not work and she got killed or raped? Maybe that would be better for you. Unlike a gun, I can’t test it on targets so I thought my wife’s safety was way more important than my discomfort.
One and a half million volts, not 1 million. Almost a many brain cells as you lost.
If you think your so tough try letting an exwife test it big boy.
Boy, you've got that right......You can probably count the number of members on the front paw of a 3 toed sloth......
For the record, I have no affiliation with any model of stunguns and this was an impartial purchase and test.
Nice try Mr Darwin attemptee.
Did someone call my name?
“My wife really did not want to do it, or so she stated, but I talked her into it quite easily.”
It shouldnt have been THAT easy!
Isn’t it nice to know that your wife is now qualified to be an Alaska State Trooper?
Really?
[just kidding...]
It becomes easier for her to use it the second and third time.
LOL! I guess I should have whispered......
You're pushing for a "Darwin" award aren't you?
The word is STUNED, for those who don’t know.
I guess I am pushing for a Darwin award. I did not know I was going to appear so stupid to some people. I just wanted to make sure it worked because I am letting my wife’s life depend on it. She was robbed three years ago and she can’t carry a gun now to her place of employment.
So, how did your underwear fare the ordeal? Did you have to discard them? :)
