Taser will introduce an item far more compact and a lot less expensive than the standard Tasers used by police, though its shock is no less potent.

There's hypocricy in this, in that police in Michigan can have these things, but citizens cannot. It's a felony to own one. What BS.
And besides, I'd rather be toting an AK-47 any day of the week over this thing. I WANT you to see I can plant you in the ground you from a football field away. I carry protection to KILL you, not tickle. They can't call it concealed anymore, when I've got it strapped over my shoulder in plain sight.
Taser's statement that it's ok to shoot somebody you think looks suspicious is about as strong an argument for weapon-producer liabilty as I've ever heard. I especially like how they recommend then dropping your Taser: the marketing people see assault and battery of innocent men as a sales event.
