so, last year I found the flashlight pictured below in a unit. It was in a belt holster with a charger hanging out of the back of it. I plugged it in and the next morning found it to be the brightest flashlight I own, plus it didn't take batteries. Naturally it went with me a few days later to check out some units. I'd brought along a friend to help my load up after. We got to a locker and I pass him the flashlight and tell him look in the back between a couch and dresser to see if he can read the side of a box. He grabs the flashlight and has trouble pushing the switch. He places his hand over the top, manages to flip the switch down and also press a button on the other side I had yet to notice. Suddenly there is the loud crackle of an electric arc, and my friend hits the ground like a sack of rocks. That was the moment I discovered the flashlight doubles as a stun gun. The only person that seemed unamused was the auctioneer, who thankfully let me stay when I gave him the short story of having bought the light from him at auction a few days prior. In summation, until you see a good friend hit the dirt in a cartoonish fashion, then spend the rest of the day with a bewildered look on their face like you would expect to see on someone who just **** their pants, you likely could not fathom the hearty belly laugh I had the remainder of that day.

See it here in half a dozen or more videos.
Good thing it wasn't a child or some one with a heart condition who accidentally discharged it.

Yeah that was lucky. Call me naive but I would have never guessed it had a double purpose. Wasn't funny when it happened, but hilarious after. Just goes to show, know what you've found before you mess with it.

When I was a kid, I found a small bottle of mace in the bushes. I thought it was cologne/perfume so I sprayed myself and my friends. It wasn't a pleasant afternoon. ???

Travis - I'm sorry, but as bad as I feel for ya, that story just made me laugh.

Not in California and I carry one everywhere I go. Had a very bad reaction to pepper spray years ago. Someone sprayed it in a store and it went throught the ventalition system. I was sick for a week. I have a tazer in my drawer at the store and one in my purse. Much safer for me than the spray.

I actually have one of these as well. I bought it for the shop. Just in case someone came in, said "hey that was mine!" and got physical about it with the wife.

Are you talking about stun guns or real Tazers that fire the electrodes?
