Who are the tasers for?

I heard that John McCain can't win, so maybe it's for his supporters who will be upset...

I'm sure the police will be glad to have the well-behaved Ron Paul supporters on hand to set a good example for the Democrats and paradoxically violent peace protestors.

We do believe in self-government and personal responsibility. In fact, it may be a good chance to recruit them (all of them, including the cops) into the freedom movement.

Preparing for convention

This Taser equiped police Convention must have international press interest I would have thought? So long as they are made aware through Press Tv, Globalresearch, BBC, etc. By then Ron Paul economics will be better understood and appreciated what with the job lay-offs through summer, poor travel industry and the failed national bank initiatives.
Word is spreading faster than a democratic death dart.

Good luck out there &Thank you. You're a gift.

These tasers are for the John Mccain fans that are going to be hysterical when Ron Paul sweeps the convention!!!!

this is why I'm a little

this is why I'm a little uneasy about showing up at the convention uninvited/in open support of Ron Paul/outside the convention. The police (no matter how peaceful/Republican you make yourself seem) will group us all with the protesters that are likely to be there as well. Who knows, the party may makes plans to have us grouped as protesters even though we're not.

Remember what happened at the last Republican convention? People who were Republicans there for the convention were mistaken for protesters and were arrested/attacked.

370, one for each Ron Paul delegate ?

Who'd of thunk it ?

Full metal Jacket

It's a reflection of the Current situation I'm afraid. Wear a tin foil vest and hopefully, the taser will short out and blow a fuse or better still might melt the hand of whom dealt it. Wear a T-shirt with the slogan ' I'm wearing a PeACE MAKER, -Don't taser me.'

Tasers to a convention

Just in case a debate brakes out !!!!!

breaks out lol.

God frobid that ever happening. As for me the governments plan to pacify my mind and make me complacent has failed horribly.

We can all say what needs to be done, but who here led by example today?

Conduct at the convention.

I'm sure that the atmosphere will be electric!

Is there a taser shield cloth?

It sounds like a funny idea, but are there any materials that reflect or absorb the taser shock? I'm thinking rubber suits under our clothes.

Convention attire:

Wet suit and tie.

Just make sure it's rubber so it doesn't conduct current.

Or wear a Faraday cage lab coat with a grounding grad chain...good for static electricity prevention, and can go the other way as well to prevent getting shocked. Make sure you are electrostatically grounded, no matter what!

Laser pointers to shine back in defense can be useful as well, but I never said that and I in no way am advocating any violence whatsoever.

Tasers work by shooting a

Tasers work by shooting a small electrical device that has little hooks on the end of it. The little hooks lock into the skin and shock the victim. Its possible (I've never tried) but it's possible that those little hooks could penetrate a wetsuit or any other sort of rubber suit and still penetrate the skin.

I would suggest a hard plastic shell. The electical nodes would bounce off the plastic and land on the ground.

I'm not sure what'd I do after that.

not really.

The hooks have to be removable by police after the fact without medical assistance. These aren't fishhooks in the slightest. And they have to make contact with a conducting surface in order to function.

As an experiment, try tasering a kids rubber inflatable ball and you'll see what I mean. The hooks have to hook in as you say, but they'd be locking into the rubber and that doesn't conduct the current, so nothing happens.

As for the Faraday jackets, those would catch the hooks in the copper wire grid in hte jacket and route the current to the ground wire. we use them all of the time in aerospace, and it's tested and proven technology.

If we do this right

it'll be the McCain supporters rioting and needing the tasin' ^^ Id love to see some pasty old neo-con fart get juiced for blowing a gasket over a Ron Paul upset

The picture above is a diagram from an Arizona man's US Patent application showing his taser-proof clothing. Or if you want to get technical it's the patent for an "energy weapon protection device". It's basically conductive and non-conductive material in layers that prevent an electric charge from ever reaching the body -- because yelling "Don't tase me, bro!" just doesn't work. This stuff wouldn't be such a bad idea if you get tased on a regular basis, and if you had pants and a mask made out of the same material. While a jacket is a good start, you don't want to be zapped in the face and/or testicles because the coppers find out you're wearing a tase-proof jacket.

I've also seen Halloween costumes that are hard pieces of plastic that you wear over your torso, legs and arms. I remember when I saw it that I thought "wow, that would work great if I was ever looking at getting tapered". Sure wish I would have grabbed it now.

Regardless... I think I'm packing MACE for the RNC.

Sounds like it's shaping up

Sounds like it's shaping up to be a hell of a party!
