The media people are killing them!
Taser International Inc Stock Symbol TASR: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=TASR&t=1y
News people everywhere keep referring to all Stun Guns as Tasers and all persons hit with a Stun Gun as those having been Tasered. Tasered???
This is no more correct than describing all persons injured in a car accident as having been Chevroleted for Forded.
Taser is a brand name of a Stun Gun and I suspect any person zapped with a Taser would then have been . . . Tazed.
And, any person zapped with a Generic Stun Gun would then be described as having been Stunned.
Have any doubt please Google the words "Stun Gun" and I suspect you will likely come up with 1,430,000 hits in 00.7 seconds (or less) and Tasers will be among them.
News folks please give the Taser folks a break as their products have saved untold numbers of lives and many more persons from suffering unnecessary injuries.
Any more unintended bashing will only cause more suffering.
Late up date: 8-24-08 It looks as people in the industry join me in the concern. To all of them, you are welcome.

Good for you for trying to correct the media and public on the differences between a taser and a stun gun! I even wrote an article on the differences:

I am so glad that you are trying to educate people on the difference between a stun gun and a taser as there is a huge difference. Thank You
