Product Information

Section 5 (1A) (a) of the Firearms Act 1968, (Article 45(2)(a) in Northern Ireland), was introduced to control firearms disguised as another item. But are torch/stun gun combinations necessarily correctly classified as such? Depending on design features, we have successfully argued that many of these devices can be categorised as ‘dual purpose’ and thus fall under general prohibition contrary to 5(1)(b), (or Article 45(1)(f) in Northern Ireland). All of our officers selected to use Taser must pass an intensive four-day training course before becoming qualified Taser operators. When an officer considers there to be an imminent use or threat of violence they can consider using Taser in a number of ways. Drawn In 2015, volunteer sheriff’s deputy Robert Bates said he accidentally fired his handgun instead of his Taser when he killed Eric Harris, an unarmed suspect who was already held to the ground by deputies.

JLaservideo] has created some cool high-voltage gloves and uploaded a video on YouTube showing you how to get your mitts on a pair of your own. Using some very simple parts, he manages to make some decent sparks. The initial report to police stated he had a screwdriver. A Taser was discharged by one of the officers prior to the man entering the river. It has been confirmed the Taser was discharged more than once.” Minnesota officer shouted 'Taser!' but fired a gun instead, fatally shooting a man at a traffic stop, police say

UK law specifies that possession of a non-lethal taser is a criminal offence and, should the taser be disguised as another object such as a torch, the offence carries a minimum term of imprisonment of 5 years. The Brooklyn Police Department policy manual states that “all Taser devices shall be clearly and distinctly marked to differentiate them from the duty weapon and any other device.” The manual also says that “officers should not hold both a firearm and the Taser device at the same time.”

At Wheldon Law we have a team of specialist firearm defence solicitors, with extensive experience in defending firearms cases. We have had considerable success in helping people avoid the specified 5 year minimum imprisonment term for carrying a taser torch. You are trying to use a lighter in windy conditions. Interestingly enough, the wind doesn’t affect these lighters since there is no flame being produced. GreatScott!] needs to light off fireworks with an arc rather than a flame, because “fireworks and plasma” is cooler than fireworks and no plasma. To that end, he attempted to reverse engineer an arc lighter, but an epoxy potted high-voltage assembly thwarted him. Refusing to accept defeat, he modified a CCFL inverter into an arc lighter, and the process is pretty educational.In the immediate aftermath, the Met said that officers had been called to reports of a man shouting and clutching a screwdriver. The Guardian understands the Metropolitan police recovered the plastic and metal item the man had been holding from the bridge, shortly after the incident and on the same day. The electrical arc that is generated is then used to heat up the material you want to ignite, be it smoke, a piece of paper, or a tinder.

Law enforcement and park rangers use a variety of Tasers during training in 2014. Curt Habraken/The Mountain Press/AP and won. The authorities can sometimes be convinced to accept a guilty plea to a different offence, such as a customs offence, which does not carry any minimum term. In some instances, you may receive a fine for such an offence, rather than any prison term. Once qualified, officers must complete an annual one day refresher course along with personal safety and first aid training. Taser provides an additional option to resolve situations that might include violent behaviour. Sometimes using a Taser is the most appropriate option as it can help to resolve dangerous situations safely and with a lower risk of serious injury.Do electric lighters work as Tasers?This product will not electrocute you. It is similar to getting a burn with a regular lighter except the coverage is more like 2 hot pins to your skin. Can this product be used as a Taser or for self-defense? No, the ArcLighter is not intended nor promoted for these purposes. Oh! I shot him. I’m sorry,” Bates said in a video of the shooting in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Bates was convicted of second-degree manslaughter and sentenced to four years in prison. The problem is that the lighter uses two ’prongs’ much like a stun gun and the suspect was charged with having a disguised weapon under the Firearms Act. But is the plasma lighter capable of being a stun gun? In this case, our Firearms expert, Alan Henderson, said not. His main arguments were two-fold around the construction of the device and how the plasma discharge was designed to occur. Additionally, the lighter top, it was argued, acted as a safety barrier to the plasma discharge. The Court accepted this was not a stun gun and the case was dropped. On the surface, the mix-up seems unfathomable: An officer intends to deploy a Taser but instead fires a handgun and kills someone.

So if an officer is right-handed, the gun should be on the right side, and the Taser should be on the left side. Might there be other applications for this beyond pyrography? Maybe soldering or desoldering? Of non-ESD sensitive components, naturally.

Tasers are typically lighter and have a different grip and feel, former Taser vice president Steve Tuttle said in 2015. Less of a fire hazard– Butane lighters such as a Bic have more of a chance to catch something on fire as they are a loose flame. Additionally, the amount of times I have burned my thumb while I’m turning a lighter upside down has permanently altered my fingerprint. There are a range of other measures which officers can use as alternatives to Taser such as physical restraint, batons, and PAVA spray. Much will depend upon the circumstances, but Taser will often be the safest way to resolve a situation. In the majority of cases involving Taser, the mere threat of its use has been enough to defuse a situation and ensure a peaceful resolution. The best thing you can do is to clean the electrodes. Often corrosion will oxidize the electrodes and prevent a spark.
