Punch Someone in the Face with 500,000 Volts of Electricity

Getting socked in the jaw really sucks. But at least you didn’t get popped by someone wearing the BodyGuard electro-gauntlet, which combines a laser pointer, video camera, taser, and armored beating-plate into one wonderful little garment. The BodyGuard offers a non-violent approach. With a laser-sighted camera, police can let baddies know they’ve been caught on…

Once upon a time, Jann Wenner started a little music magazine called Rolling Stone. When the internet arrived, he shrugged his shoulders and tossed up a half-baked website.
