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!

I have to admit, I was in a similar equally stupid situation, but at least I can blame it on youth. When I was about 13, I decided to try an experiment for the high school science fair, growing plants in an ionized environment to see if they would grow faster. (They did). I built a Tesla coil using a neon sign transformer, a 3 foot cardboard tube with about 5000 turns of wire. (I had a friend whose father worked at Georgia Wire, and did this for me. I had 2 large glass capacitors I made from safety glass with metal plates on each side. Long story, short, I could hold a 48" fluorescent light bulb anywhere within 20 feet of the coil and it would light up in my hand. I had the whole thing wired to a chicken wire cage, in which the plants were growing.

I had been up for 2 nights building this thing and between the sleep deprivation and stupidity, I watched as a wasp landed on the chicken wire and nothing happened-I was expecting a bug-zapper moment (The wasp wasn't grounded) Although I could smell ozone pouring out from this thing and hear the buzzing, i wasn't convinced it was actually working, so I reached over and touched the chicken wire. I was in a basement with a concrete floor in bare feet, and obviously was grounded. When I woke up about 1/2 hour later on the other side of the room, I felt like the guy in the above story. I have a healthy respect for electricity now! Fortunately I lived to tell the story.

This story reminded me of when my dad bought our first propane barbecue grill. I was helping him put it together holding the igniter. Had the button in one hand and the igniter in the other. I curiously pushed the button. It all came clear as to how it worked.

That there is funny also.

At least he knows his wife is well protected!

“At least he knows his wife is well protected!”

He probably feels just a little bit threatened by that.

[Little Ray]

My wife has access to the gun cabinet... getting “tazed” would mean she let me off lightly...

Only if the batteries aren’t dead. And what a time to find out if they are!

[Ready4Freddy]

LOL, but was that in the article? I was quoting the article.
