CELLULAR PHONE STUN GUN The stun gun device is designed to look just like a cell phone and includes a safety lock. One model in particular is the MTD-125, which is boasted as the advanced new product of 2002 by Motedo, Co. in Taiwan. This device specifically has an output of up to 180,000 volts from its antenna, and includes a strap hole on top and a speaker at the back. The company promotes the device as an effective defense for anyone, including security officers. (Incidentally, the stun gun will not function as an operable cell phone.) Just remember, a good defensive device can become something entirely different if it falls in the wrong hands, so just stay alert to ANY and ALL possibilities. TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE WEAPON Information from the Maine DEA indicates that a tire pressure gauge that converts into a .22 caliber pistol, and functions in a 'zip gun' action, was found on a convicted trafficker/felon in May. The first indication that it is not a true tire pressure gauge is the absence of the plastic measuring device in the center and that the last 1 1/2 inches is a hardened steel barrel, The tire gauge takes a .22 short, rim-fire cartridge. TO FIRE THE WEAPON, remove the threaded top, and DROP in the cartridge then pull the top and let go. This causes the spring-loaded action to drive the firing pin into the cartridge. Possession of this weapon is a federal crime, regardless of the person's record. Video Recorder Conceals Handgun Glendale, California police officers made a very unique, and somewhat disturbing, discovery while conducting a consent search of a vehicle in April. During the search they found a full size "Sharp" personal video recorder located on the right rear passenger seat. They examined it further and found a 'fake' videotape inside. After removing the tape, they found a fully loaded "Taurus" 9 mm semi-auto handgun in the recorder. The officers checked the weapon and also found that the serial number had been altered. |
