There have been a lot of "taser" related news items in the mainstream news lately.  It was something that I had just brushed aside, but if you look at Google News I guess there is some issues with them being more lethal than expected?

The reason I am even blogging about it is because the latest NRA American Rifleman magazine had an ad for the Taser X26c Citizen Defense System that I ripped out to maybe talk about in a future podcast over at Tech News Radio.

Sorting out all the legal ramifications is probably a full-time job, but the ad did say the device was legal to carry ("concealed?") in 43 states after a background check.
