Disguised Weapons: Cellular Phones and Stun Guns

Weapons come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. These stun guns are disguised as cellular phones. Recently, one of these stun guns was used on two Georgia police officers who were attempting to arrest a fraud suspect.

Generally, these types of stun guns are not nearly as incapacitating as compared to the TASER M/X-26.

A quick Google search turned up a wide variety of these being sold under names like Pretender Cell Phone Stun Gun and Titan Multi-Functional Cell Phone Stun Gun. Prices start at about $60 and go up. These are perfectly legal in most US jurisdictions, and are probably used by far more honest citizens than criminals.  However, mere possession may be a crime in your area, and regardless, no law ever stopped a criminal from attacking a police officer.
Keep an eye out for these things when dealing with suspects. All of the photos below are of actual stun guns being sold today.

Stay safe!
