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.
