You know what a bother it is to carry both your MP3 music player and your Taser gun?
Worry no more.
Today at CES, Taser International introduced the Taser MPH — the first combination hand-held music player and Taser.
The player, which has a 1-GB capacity that can hold about 150 songs, is embedded in a holster that slips on your belt. Feel the need to zap someone and you can unholster the Taser, use the built-in laser pointer to aim, and blam — a couple of darts carrying 50,000 volts hits your victim.
And you don’t have to miss a beat.

Here’s how dumb I am. I had no idea it’s legal for private citizens to carry Tasers.
And then there’s this, Taser Parties:
A reader just tipped us off to an article about one of the stranger social events that I’ve heard of in a while: Taser parties. Yes, that’s right. According to the Associated Press, Taser parties are replacing Tupperware parties (and, more recently, sex toy parties) as the most bizarre activities that could take place in your living room.
The parties weren’t started by Taser — though company executives are impressed by their success and plan to design a living room set at an upcoming trade show that’s inspired by the soirées. Rather, they’re the creation of Dana Shafman, a freelance construction consultant who has always had an interest in self-defense, says the AP. After moonlighting — with little success — as a door-to-door Taser saleswoman, she realized that women needed an opportunity to get over their Taser fears before they’d buy a stun gun for home use. So she started hosting parties. (She doesn’t get paid by the company — she buys them wholesale, sells them retail, and keeps the profit.)
